Ten minutes of
Agile user experience

Most Agile
projects
are bad

Guesswork

Drowning in
process

“User scented design”

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
agilemanifesto.org

Ignore dogma!

Model users in
Iteration 0…

…prioritise user stories

…and design
iteratively
Workahead:
Research n+2
Design n+1
Support n
Test n-1

Buy time with the back end

Collaborate

Hold dual purpose user sessions

Takes experience &
communication

Embrace imperfection

Don’t be afraid

Thank you!
