UX in the Jungle is a tabletop game that empowers UX practitioners to see the big picture of product development. It can help them with evangelizing the importance of different UX functions and skills within the organisation. Players in the same team must collaborate to understand requirements, figure out user needs, make trade-offs between different features, manage market change risks, and deal with various other development cycle challenges to release their products on time with good usability and (most important of all) make lots of money with minimal losses.

At the end of the workshop, participants can expect to:

• Gain a better understanding of the whole product development life cycle
• Recognise the importance of different UX skills in product-development, and how UX practitioners can help generate more business value
• Recognise the impact that a collaborative UX team can have on an organization
• Foresee possible challenges that UX practitioners would face in their work

UX Consulting is proud to partner with Trend Education Foundation, the creator of UX in the Jungle board game to present this toolkit to the industry to support an innovative way of learning UX and software development practices.
