The above, plus managing ux requests and making sure the team has a function that it can maintain. So if we have a discussion about a ux piece, there's a gitlab issues tracker or similar we can all go to. But the actual setup is up to the leader and team tbh.

I would propose we consider changing the "Development Team" to the "Product Team" and integrating UX, UI, Testing, and Programming into a more coordinated and cohesive group. Just my $0.02.
