How Can UX Fit into Agile?

The challenges of maximizing the effectiveness of UX in an Agile environment are not all that different from the challenges we've faced when working alongside waterfall. Regardless of the development methodologies our organizations adopt we should be aware of the historic and cultural issues that often impede our effectiveness, before we attempt to align ourselves with their methodologies. We'll review those issues that can trip us up, review a few key goals of Agile, a common Agile process, team structures & roles then walk through points in their methodology where we can have the most impact.

Speaker:

Shawn Kenney is a UXPA Cleveland member and an HFI certified usability analyst who is currently a UX Architect and Evangelist with Oracle, where he is focused on assisting development organizations across Oracle's Global Business Units with adopting methodologies that support cross functional collaboration such as Agile and Design Thinking.
