This pull request introduces a new, detailed guideline page that defines the UX writer role within the existing iX UX writing guidelines. The page clarifies the responsibilities, processes, and collaborative aspects of UX writing, aiming to standardize practices and ensure consistent, effective language across digital products. It covers how UX writing integrates with design, collaborates with other teams, utilizes design systems, adheres to governance, and fits into agile development cycles.

  • Collaboration Framework: Outlined key collaboration touchpoints with various teams, including marketing, technical writing, legal, content strategy, and development, to ensure consistent content across the user experience.
  • Design Systems and Governance: Explained the importance of design systems for consistent product language and established governance principles covering ownership, review processes, quality standards, maintenance, and conflict resolution.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new documentation page describing the role of a UX writer. The content is valuable, but I've identified several opportunities for improvement to ensure consistency with existing documentation. My feedback includes corrections to the file's frontmatter, formatting issues such as improper use of HTML tags and incorrect list structure, and suggestions to align with the established writing style, like using active voice. I've also noted that the document's section structure differs from the standard layout used in this repository.

The frontmatter has a duplicate title key, which is invalid YAML and can cause parsing issues. Additionally, the value UX Writer role violates the style guide's rule for sentence case in titles.

Using <br/> tags for line breaks is discouraged in Markdown. Please use empty lines between paragraphs to separate them. This improves the source code's readability. This issue occurs multiple times in the file (e.g., lines 18, 23, 24, 91, 96).

Design systems provide components, shared patterns and guidelines for consistent product language. They are used when writing microcopy, validate terminology before implementation and apply established patterns for consistency.

This list is not formatted correctly for Markdown. The <br/> tags are unnecessary and incorrect. Please format this as a standard Markdown bulleted list, with an empty line after it to separate it from the following paragraph.
