!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([UX]) Is More Than Design—It’s Strategy.[1]

User experience concerns much more than the design of elegant, usable products. By UX design, I’m referring to a broad range of skills, including creating personas, wireframes, specifications, information architectures, interaction flows, high-resolution comps, and prototypes; conducting user research, doing [usability] studies, and organizing content. All of this work—and much more—sits within the fuzzy boundaries of [{$pagename}] design. We do this work with the intent of streamlining, refining, and optimizing a particular user experience.

[{$pagename}] design is typically the kind of work for which [{$pagename}] professionals get hired. This work is about execution. It is contingent upon corporate goals, a set product roadmap, a list of required features, and previously defined user goals. Often decisions about these [{$pagename}] typically get made by corporate leaders and [Product Managers], usually without a [{$pagename}] professional present. 

In a nutshell, the pattern is something like this:
* [Product Management] defines - [{$pagename}] ''refines''.
* [Product Management] leads - [{$pagename}] ''interprets''.
* [Product Management] is business - [{$pagename}] is ''art''.
* [Product Management] is strategy - [{$pagename}] is ''execution''.
