How PMs can best work with UX designers

Product management and user experience (UX) design are crucial roles that intersect to create customer-focused products, though distinguishing their responsibilities can be challenging. Collaboration between product managers and UX designers is essential for addressing customer problems, aligning product vision with customer desires, and avoiding conflicts that lead to product failure. Regular communication, such as UX backlog meetings and shared task boards, can help align these roles and ensure timely product updates. While UX designers represent the "voice of the customer," product managers balance customer desires with business and technical constraints to prioritize needs. Building a collaborative environment that respects both roles' contributions can lead to successful product outcomes, with tools like LogRocket enhancing team synergy by providing shared insights into user experience issues and priorities.
