In a lot of orgs, the people that do design are now UX designers. It's a completely different role with a different budget for head count. They sit on a different team. They're loaned and rotated out to other product teams. They're essentially cut off from their engineering partners.

    @nhoizey @hbuchel Just so. Documentation, design, QA, U/X, marketing, sales, user support, etc don't fit easily into the rigid orthodoxy that has stolen the name "agile" (it requires actual creative thought and flexibility to include them), so they often don't get a seat at the table.As a result, you end up with a just a domain name and a bunch of web pages instead of a product (a site the right people want to visit for reasons that align with your organisation's goals).#agile #tech #web

Frontend? It's so simplistic and so far from my skills...
