Open Source UX Research Toolset
I was thinking about our UX Research archive and how valuable it is to have a centralized place to reference studies and results. It got me thinking about what we (the UX Team) can do to continue to empower all of GitLab to drive, participate in, and utilize UX Research.
We have purchased a license to Balsamiq and are building a design system to enable PM/FE and anyone else at GitLab to contribute designs. Wouldn't it also be valuable to compile a list of UX Research terms, tools, templates, and best practices that all at GitLab could use?
