While innovation is essential to build a competitive advantage, designers must work within the company&#8217;s resources and technical requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A development team representative should attend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/the-practical-beginners-guide-to-user-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user research<\/a> to learn the &#8220;WHY&#8221; behind design decisions.
