UX Facilitation skills training

Course Description

UX Facilitation skills training aids facilitators in guiding and facilitating human-centered design activities throughout the UX design process. Becoming a certified UX Facilitator begins with ensuring that stakeholders focus on users’ needs, behaviors, and goals throughout the design process. Basically, a better UX process results in better products, services, and experiences. That’s why UX Facilitation Certification provides the essential skills for bringing together UX processes, deliverables, and stakeholders.  What’s more, facilitating UX processes and teams requires an understanding of cross-functional team communication, collaboration, and user advocacy. Ultimately, UX Facilitators can create a cultural momentum for everyone to use data, insight, and shared understanding for better UX.  

Why take UX Facilitation skills training?

UX Facilitators act like Scrum Masters, keeping teams on track. They can work alongside Scrum Masters or Product Owners to keep Agile UX processes optimal and efficient. In addition, UX facilitators benefit organizations by ensuring that UX is being done properly with widespread support. Ultimately this is why UX facilitation fosters a culture of collaboration and innovation within your organization. By becoming a UX Facilitator, you can improve how stakeholder engagement and collaboration is done. Learning UX facilitation skills starts with developing a strong understanding of UX principles, methodologies, and tools. UX Facilitators guide stakeholders through UX gates like User Research, design prototyping, and UX strategy decisions. Workshop facilitation is a key skill you will learn in this UX facilitation training.

The goal of UX Facilitation skills training

UX facilitators ensure that user needs are at the forefront of stakeholder decisions. Particularly, design decisions get informed by user feedback and data, not internal politics. Ultimately, stakeholder engagement and involvement are critical to facilitating successful UX deliverables such as journey mapping, service blueprints, Insight Sprints, and Design Sprints. Also, learning to work with stakeholder dynamics in order to steer stakeholders toward better collaboration with user data at the forefront becomes critical to UX facilitation.
