One-person UX teams are people who strive to create a quality user experience by ensuring that the business gets answers to its questions, design problems are properly studied and creatively solved, and the product is constantly monitored and improved. Often, such people have to take on a set of tasks designed for a team of specialists.
The book “ONE-PERSON UX TEAM: How to Survive in Research and Design” by Leah Bewley and Joe Natoli examines methods and offers practical advice that will help you systematize your work and achieve the desired results, as well as present and explain them to colleagues and clients, increasing their awareness of the field of UX and involving them as allies and helpers.
However, a UX specialist working in a large corporate team will also find this book useful more than once. You can always quickly find the tool you need in a particular situation and adapt it to teamwork if necessary. ****
