About the Meetup

Details

This UX Graz meetup is all about the intersection of UX and Requirements Engineering: What do good requirements actually look like? And how can different roles - UX, PM, Dev, QA - contribute to getting them right?

We'll kick things off with a series of short talks from different perspectives, covering practical insights, real-world pain points, and role-specific expectations when working with requirements.
Talking about UX specifications that bridge the gap from insight to implementation, and how to write requirements that are both user-centered and dev-ready. Maybe we can even cover how developers could interpret specs (and what usually goes wrong), or what testers really need to write test cases that reflect the intended experience. And finally, talking about "Just enough, just in time?" - balancing clarity with agility.

After the talks, we invite all speakers to a panel-style discussion to reflect on overlaps, misalignments, and better collaboration.

And finally, for those joining us onsite: it's time again for a UX Therapy Session - UX vs. Product Management vs. Project Management vs. [whatever-roles-come-to-mind] - you decide if you need to laugh or cry about the challenges we face in collaboration at work.

Why Join

Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.

Questions? We've Got Answers

An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.

IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.

You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.

You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.

Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. As an IxDF member, you can also plan and create your own meetups. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.

Some examples of what you'll find:

Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A
Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects
Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together
Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback
Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading

Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.

What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.

Yes, absolutely!

Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.

IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.

You'll fit right in regardless of your background.
