- 3. My introduction to Agile... Feeding the beast “There’s a whole team of developers and I’m the only UX designer. They’re building features faster than I can design them. I can’t keep up!” Half-Baked UX “Our PO’s under pressure to deliver the next release and signing off on features despite crap-ass usability. Help!” Sprint Tunnel-Vision “Yes, we technically delivered all the features this sprint, but looking at the big picture, the design’s an incoherent mess!” @ANDERSRAMSAY / ANDERSRAMSAY.COM / DESIGNINGWITHAGILE.COM #AGILEUXNYC CONFERENCE / FEB 25 2012 Sunday, February 26, 12

- But it's about more than just going through the motions of conducting workshops.\n
- There is a deeper shift that takes places, which is a shift toward a faciliatator skill set.\nWhere our toolkit of how to create various types of documents shifts toward a toolkit of different workshop activities.\n
