The Twain Shall Meet: Incorporating User Experience Design in Agile Development

Traditional user experience (UX) design methodologies are often seen as too slow and not flexible enough for use in agile software development. Scott Plewes explodes this myth by showing how to avoid dogmatic practices that undermine the value of UX design. Learn how to involve users, experience designers, and other UX design assets directly into your agile development process-without giving up the value of sprints, Scrums, minimalist documentation, or anything else that makes a well-oiled agile process work. Scott describes how and when to incorporate user feedback into the agile development process. Learn to determine which user requirements can potentially shift and which are likely to be more stable. Discover what type of user interface documentation is appropriate for your product and process as you explore how to get timely UX design information to developers and other team members. Above all, Scott shares how to retain the "core" of an agile practice while creating a culture that is both user and customer centric.
