Thanks all for your feedback. I purposely left my original question very vague so as not to lead responses, but I'm particularly interested in the split between what I tend to describe as technical skills ( wireframing, workshops, user research and testing, etc. ) and the other stuff ( evangelizing IxD within the organisation, stakeholder education, strategic consulting, etc.). I'm sure there are many valid reasons that split would change depending on the IxDer you speak to. I guess I was really just fishing for a fresh perspective from outside of my own little bubble.
Heather, your second and third key roles hit a particular note for me. My list already mentioned user advocacy (whew!) and promoting the role of IxD within the organisation, but I can certainly identify with the translation and balancing act responsibilities. What tools do you find most successful for bringing marketing and developers toward a common ground? Thanks again, Marcus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
