In this reading, you’ll learn about cross-functional team members you’re likely to work with as a new UX designer.

用户体验设计是一个高度协作的领域，设计师通常在跨功能团队中工作。你未来的合作伙伴可能包括工程师、用户体验研究人员、项目经理、产品负责人、同事设计师以及其他人。在不同的功能领域与不同的人一起工作，可以帮助你从他们的专业领域中学习，并探索用户体验领域中的其他领域。在本文中，您将了解作为一个新的用户体验设计师可能与之合作的跨职能团队成员。

Teams that UX designers work with

用户体验设计师合作的团队

Cross-functional teams come in lots of shapes and sizes, depending on the organization you work for and the project you’re working on. In general, though, there are a handful of key team members that you’ll get to work with as a UX designer.

跨职能团队有多种形式和规模，这取决于您所工作的组织和您正在从事的项目。总的来说，作为一个用户体验设计师，你可以和一些关键的团队成员一起工作。

Engineers: Engineers translate designs into a functioning experience, like an app or a website. They help UX teams figure out if designs are feasible from a technical standpoint and bring that idea to life. Working closely with engineers and involving them early in the design process is critical to ensure your project is set up for success.

工程师: 工程师将设计转化为功能体验，比如应用程序或网站。他们帮助用户体验团队从技术角度判断设计是否可行，并将这个想法付诸实践。与工程师密切合作，让他们尽早参与到设计过程中，这对于确保项目的成功是至关重要的。

UX researchers: UX research is all about understanding what users need and expect from your product. UX researchers use methods like observations, interviews, and surveys to understand users’ unique perspectives. Findings from research can inform your design decisions each step of the way. If you work at a startup or small business, there’s a good chance you’ll get to do your own UX research. At larger companies though, you’ll likely work with designated UX researchers who will provide research findings to inform your design work.

用户体验研究者: 用户体验研究是关于理解用户需要什么和对你的产品有什么期望。用户体验的研究人员使用观察、访谈和调查等方法来理解用户的独特视角。研究结果可以为你的设计决策提供参考。如果你在创业公司或者小公司工作，你就有机会做自己的用户体验研究。不过在大公司，你可能会和指定的用户体验研究人员一起工作，他们会提供研究结果来指导你的设计工作。

Program managers**:** Program managers ensure clear and timely communication across the team, so that the process of building a useful product moves smoothly from start to finish. Program managers supervise, support, and keep track of the project as a whole. They assign tasks to team members, monitor the project budget, and manage timelines, among other things. Think of your team’s program manager as your go-to source of support when facing any setbacks or issues with your work.

项目经理: 项目经理确保团队之间清晰和及时的沟通，从而使构建一个有用的产品的过程从开始到结束顺利进行。项目经理对整个项目进行监督、支持和跟踪。他们将任务分配给团队成员，监控项目预算，管理时间表等等。当你的工作遇到任何挫折或问题时，把你团队的项目经理当作你的支持来源。

Product leads: Product leads are in charge of ensuring the final product’s success and communicating with stakeholders. Your product lead will define the project’s core goals and deliverables, so you can focus on creating innovative design solutions. At some companies, product leads are known as product managers.

产品导向: 产品导向负责确保最终产品的成功，并与利益相关者沟通。你的产品负责人将定义项目的核心目标和可交付成果，因此你可以专注于创建创新的设计解决方案。在一些公司，产品导向被称为产品经理。

Other UX designers: In many cases, you won’t be the sole designer working on a given project, especially if you work at a larger company and when you’re a new designer. For example, as an entry-level UX designer, you might collaborate with a more experienced visual designer who can ensure that your designs adhere to the company’s brand standards for things like color and font. Working with other designers is a great chance to learn and ask questions!

其他用户体验设计师: 在很多情况下，你不会是某个特定项目的唯一设计师，尤其是如果你在一家大公司工作，而且你是一个新的设计师。例如，作为一个入门级的用户体验设计师，您可以与一个更有经验的视觉设计师合作，他可以确保您的设计符合公司的品牌标准，比如颜色和字体。与其他设计师一起工作是一个学习和提问的好机会！
