Agile UX: incorporate usability into Agile development
Agile UX: incorporate usability into Agile development
The goal of Agile is to overall create faster, iterative and customer-centric software. Agile or Lean development methodology possesses a challenge to many organizations on its own. Enter user experience to the fast moving and delivery-driven Agile sprint and you add the additional challenge of how to incorporate usability and user feedback into the planning process.
Topic:
What are the best ways to bring UX into a Lean or Agile process? How do you overcome "we don't have time for usability" in the Lean UX process? What is the role of the product owner in the development lifecycle? This seminar will introduce you to an in-the-trenches view of what works and what doesn't in terms of people, processes and team collaboration. Instead of focusing on the differences between Agile and User Centered Design or between Agile and Lean development approaches, we will discuss the the shared positive intentions and goals of each and how to tackle the most common challenges that teams we work with are facing. We will review 10 of the key usability questions regarding Agile and UX and discuss new approaches to incorporating Lean UX into your development and User Centered Design efforts.
