Why this course

Every quarter your team receives a new batch of product concepts, but the intake spreadsheet lives in three different folders and the status tracker is a stale PowerPoint deck. You spend hours reconciling duplicate requests, chasing missing data, and explaining why the same research effort is being re-ordered.

Meanwhile senior leadership asks for a single view of impact, yet you have no quantitative model to compare user value against effort. The lack of a unified portfolio view forces you to defend every recommendation in ad-hoc meetings, and missed deadlines threaten your credibility and future staffing.

If the situation stays this way, the next budgeting cycle will reallocate resources away from UX, and you risk being sidelined as the organization prioritizes speed over evidence-based design.

What you walk away with

Create a single portfolio scorecard that ranks projects by user impact and effort.
Build a decision matrix that translates research findings into clear business cases.
Streamline intake forms so every request includes required metrics up front.
Produce an executive-ready presentation that visualizes trade-offs in minutes.
Establish a recurring review cadence that keeps leadership aligned with UX priorities.

Before and after

Before

Your current workflow relies on scattered Word docs, separate PowerPoint decks, and an ad-hoc spreadsheet that never updates. Evidence lives in multiple research repositories, making it impossible to pull a unified impact view for leadership. When audit or budget reviews arrive, you scramble to assemble data, and the team loses hours reconciling inconsistencies.

After

After the course you have a single, live portfolio scorecard that aggregates all research impact scores, a standardized intake form that captures required metrics up front, and a weekly governance cadence that keeps leadership informed. Evidence is ready for any audit, and you can confidently steer conversation with senior leaders using data-backed recommendations.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this now, the next quarterly budgeting round will allocate resources away from UX, leaving you with fewer staff and reduced influence. The audit committee will request a clean evidence pack and you will have nothing to show, forcing a remediation plan that hurts your career trajectory.

Who it is for

A senior UX researcher who leads end-to-end studies, curates research deliverables, and participates in quarterly portfolio reviews. You operate on a fast-paced cadence, juggling multiple stakeholder requests, and you need a repeatable method to turn qualitative insights into quantitative portfolio decisions without building dashboards from scratch.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to UX research methods rather than a portfolio decision framework.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal coordination and reporting effort.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant would charge $2K-$5K for a similar setup, generic compliance courses cost $800-$2K, and building the system yourself can consume 60+ hours of trial-and-error. At $199 you get a proven framework and all the artefacts you need, delivering far higher ROI.
