Stakeholder Management

We all experience stress in our jobs, and often, a significant portion of this stress arises from managing expectations - either those we set ourselves, or those set for us by others. This stress can sometimes be overwhelming and can prevent us from advocating effectively for the user, as we:

• Struggle to utilise our broader design skills
• Feel unheard within our team
• Continually change our work without clear priorities
• Find our showcases overlooked, with significant changes demanded at the eleventh hour
