I'm not sure I understand why you think it should be a part of something else rather than it's own thing. Can you explain? In my experience, UX has a role in all of these things, not just one or the other. ===== Adrian said:"Does it actually help to have a central user experience group, or is it better to push the people into individual projects?" Both, I think. A centralized team helps to establish and maintain cross-product standards and a unified front (and so on), but within that team, people should "own" individual projects. Those people can even be embedded into those project teams, as long as they regularly return to home base to integrate their work into the centralized team's standards documentation and such. -r- ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
