Abstract: Introducing User Experience (UX) into your agile development lifecycle does not have to be a zero-sum game. User experience strategies, approaches and methods do complement the agile methodology. Being able to apply these strategies across throughout the project lifecycle will invariably lead to better, more effective products for end users.
This session will help connect the dots between User Experience and agile principles through real world practical examples. We will focus on key UX strategies like who can get involved in user research and when, how to apply human centered design to the process, and rapidly prototyping ideas in order to validate key decisions with users and stakeholders. The session will not be a one size fits all approach to injecting UX into your agile teams, but focus on ways to help inform your design which will inevitably evolve over multiple sprint cycles.
This session targets project teams that are interested in including UX design principles into their agile projects. From initial user research through the prototyping and measuring of the outcomes.
Learning Outcomes: - • Introduce how UX fits within their current agile product development lifecycle
- • Gain a better understanding of how to apply the key aspects of human centered design as it applies within the agile process (i.e. if you are always iterating and discovering, how do you actually deliver a product)
- • Share examples of how iterative prototypes and subsequent feedback loops improve the overall product user experience
- • Better understanding that UX is the responsibility of everyone on the team
- • Understanding some of the challenges of working UX into an agile approach and ways around them
- • Highlight the differences and benefits of agile and UX vs lean UX
