The User Experience Team of One A Research and Design Survival Guide eBook Leah Buley
UX, while less new than many thing, is still a field where it feels really hard to grasp the basic concepts and get a good overview of what the field has to offer. This can be incredibly frustrating for newbies getting into the field (I fall in the first category), experienced UX designers attempting to get others onboard, and UX skeptics who don't understand the value or resources needed for the field.As someone who wanted to get a better idea of the field for a career change, I was looking for a book that would provide a comprehensive overview of the UX field, especially since many places don't have an established UX system. For me, the User Experience Team of One was exactly the resource I was looking for. It provided and overview of the field, ways to advance personally and professionally, and most important - it also talked about how to advocate within your role if you are the sole UX Designer in an organization.
The main chapters which talk about design, research, and testing methodologies among other topics, also provide helpful tips for remote workers, ways that you can bring your coworkers into the UX design process, and a "if you only do one thing" section for the time-pressed professional.
I took off one star due to the fact that the book unfortunately is very small, leading to many of the images being incredibly tiny and hard to read. It makes a nice, light book for my train ride, but hard to read in practice.
Overall, if you only do one thing when trying to get an overview of UX.... read this book.

The User Experience Team of One A Research and Design Survival Guide eBook Leah Buley Reviews
Leah has written what equates to a UX survival guide in The User Experience Team of One. Being in this position at my current place of employment, this book has empowered me to go forth and do more with what I have. This book is perfect for lone UXers and those who are just thinking of getting into the user experience field. Buy the ebook version so you'll always have an easily searchable copy. Buy the physical version because the Rosenfeld books are gorgeous.
Use this book if you need to be completely flooded with techniques on conducting UX (mostly) on your own.
This book is written for people just getting started, but it's great for UX practitioners (like me) who find themselves introducing user research into a team that knows the benefits, but has no clue how to execute and scant patience.
You may recognize a lot of the techniques, and most of them are geared for quick and dirty implementation. I encourage you to read the table of contents, as all discussed techniques are listed there.
As a UX Team of One I found this book really helpful and since reading it I've seen plenty of improvement in my working relationships.
I'm starting to do UX in a company where there hasn't been any UX designers before. And I am a newbie myself.
This book has been of tremendous help in guiding me through the whole UX process. And it offers great tips for those working as the only UX guy.
I'm definitely the first UX designer in my new job and this has been a lifesaver. It has great resources for building a team and getting everyone involved in the process. It is more a resource for workshops for brainstorming and developing user requirements, along with a brief overview of dealing with different "clients" within your company. If you're looking for a guide to managing and integrating UX projects this isn't the book you need.
Buley's writing is accessible and engaging, and the highly practical nature of the book makes it very useful. I' highly recommend anyone interesting in UX (not just the solo practitioners referred to in the title) read it.
That said, it's easy to get lost in the last 2/3rds of the book with the vast array of techniques she covers. Probably best to read the first few descriptive chapters, and then put it on your desk/quick-access bookshelf as a sourcebook to refer to when you need to know how to approach a specific UX task.
Very helpful for both remote/contract designers as well as on-site, in house designers. Even if you work for a company with a lot of designers, this company provides a bunch of helpful methods and insights as to ways to take more ownership of product design. Also recommend for people working in related fields (product or project management, engineers, viz designers, etc) who'd like to introduce more UX practices into their team or make a transition in their career without going back to school. The beginning is a bit basic but has lots of useful examples and ideas for integrating into product development.
