In the Dark: The Stakeholder from Hell

What happens when your stakeholder is actually a demon from the darkest depths of UX hell?Listen for a wild ride through Silicon Valley’s dark side in our special Halloween episode. We’re trading our usual insights for incantations as we follow the misadventures of Sarah, Mike, and Emily, a UX team at the unicorn startup TechNova. Their world is turned upside down when they meet Mr. Deville, a new stakeholder who brings new meaning to the phrase “design from hell.”Our intrepid team faces challenges that would make even the most seasoned UX professional weep: interfaces that change on their own, product roadmaps possessed by demons, and stakeholder requests that defy the laws of physics (and good design). As they realize the true nature of their predicament, they must use every UX trick in the book – and perhaps invent a few new ones – to save their product and their souls.This episode is a tongue-in-cheek look at the sometimes hellish world of UX design, startup culture, and stakeholder management. It’s packed with laughs, gasps, and maybe even a few valuable lessons about staying true to good design principles, no matter how devilish the circumstances. Don’t miss this hilarious and horrifying journey into the dark side of UX!So go ahead and give it a listen… If you dare!—– Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoyed today’s episode.
