Integrating User Centered Design with Agile DevelopmentJulia Borkenhagen
The Agile Manifesto emphasizes the importance of individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and that's precisely where the User Centered Design approach comes in. UCD always focuses on the users first, keeps them involved during the entire project and emphasizes the need for iterations and team collaboration.
Just Married: User Centered Design and AgileMemi Beltrame
User Centred Design (UCD) and Agile Development are two of the most exciting and productive Methods to achieve high quality appication both desired by the customers and loved by the users. UCD and Agile Development are though often said to be impossible to combine and that despite their great advantages any attempt would most certainly lead to disaster.
This talk picks up the main points of both methods, shows the key issues and tries to offer a pragmatic approach on how to successfully combine User Centered Design and Agile Development.
I recently attended the Interaction Design training at Cooper (http://www.cooper.com/#training:interaction_design).
This presentation is a brief overview of the training and Cooper process from the perspective of a software developer.
Presented at UX Scotland in Edinburgh on 6/8/2016. Many of us are thrust into an Agile Development world. How do we do our best UX in a process designed by developers? Where do we belong and how do we work within a Scrum team?

User centred design (UCD) and the connected homeCyber-Duck
This presentation is a summary of a workshop that was conducted at UX London and Mozfest by Cyber-Duck, an agency that merges lean and agile deliver with user centred design (UCD). The workshop was aimed at those wanting to apply UCD to futuristic technologies. The workshop explored the concepts and thinking of ‘how to design an Internet Connected Dishwasher app’ while considering a wider eco system. The workshop started by introducing IoT (and ‘nearables’), why its relevant now and how the UCD process can adapt to it. The workshop frames UCD in a wider product delivery context and is aimed at those wanting to learn on how UX tactics can be applied to successfully design IoT products and systems.
The experience your customers have with your products is a critical component of success. Valuable products can solve real human needs, fulfill desires, and improve the quality the of life. This goes beyond just building more features, or making things look pretty. It involves understanding and empathizing with your customers, and involving them in the design process.
How do we do this? And how do we do this in a way that fits into the operational rhythms of Agile development? These perspectives are shared by a long-time UX designer who has recently moved into Agile.
Is User Centered Design a buzzword, a technique, or a methodology? Why does "UCD" get so much attention? How has it changed how teams approach web application usability efforts? Is UCD right for you?
1. User Centered Design: Evolving from Dot-Com to Web 2.0
2. Why UCD? (Development, Business, Design benefits)
3. Development process: UCD vs. Agile vs. Waterfall
4. Case Studies: User Centered Design success stories

Filip Healy (Threesixty Reality): Making Immersive Tech More UsableAugmentedWorldExpo
A talk from the Design Track at AWE EU 2018 - the World's #1 XR Conference & Expo in Munich, Germany 18 -19, October, 2018.
Filip Healy (Threesixty Reality): Making immersive tech more usable: Involving target users in your design process
Understanding user needs, design research and usability testing are common practice today for most digital products. It's rare for a mobile app or website from any serious company to go live without some degree of testing with users.
The benefits of involving users in the design process are well known to UX professionals and digital product managers: improved usability, reduced dropouts, optimised conversion rates, higher engagement and better user advocacy.
In this talk I'll discuss how this applies to immersive tech and why it's more important than ever to understand actual user behaviour and develop new interaction paradigms that deliver on the potential of VR and AR platforms. I'll talk through the process of running studies with users, when to test the design, how to set things up and what data to focus on in order to get the most benefit from testing with users. What can we learn from this type of research and why is it important for ensuring the success of our product?

Best Practices for Improving User Interface Designijseajournal
A rich and effective computational system must have a friendly user interface with appealing usability features that provides excellent user experience. In order to develop interactive systems with the best user experience, an innovative iterative approach to user interface engineering is required because it is one of the most challenging areas given the diversity of knowledge, ideas, skills and creativity needed for building smart interfaces in order to succeed in today’s rapidly paced and tough, competitive marketplace. Many modeling aspects including analytical, intuitive, artistic, technical, graphical, mathematical, psychological and programming models need to be considered in the development process of an effective user interface. This research examines some of the past practices and recommends a set of guidelines for designing effective user interfaces. It also demonstrates how UML use case diagrams can be enhanced by relating user interface elements to use cases.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
1. Usability and software developers
Managing Usability
A tale of Usability Professionals,
Software Developers and
Managers
Presented by:
Rob Knight
Lead Technical Architect, PRWD
Northern User Experience
20th January 2009
http://northern-user-experience.org/
2. Introduction
Managing Usability
What are the problems faced by usability
professionals and software developers working
together as a team?
3. Clash of Cultures
Managing Usability
Usability Professionals
Software Developers
Think in terms of users
Think in terms of
tools
Value speciality
Value reusability
Want to create Want to create elegant
elegant systems
interfaces
4. How software developers think
Managing Usability
Reusability is a core discipline
It means:
Lower cost
Fewer bugs
Easier to maintain
5. Lines of code
Managing Usability
“Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like
measuring aircraft building progress by weight”
- Bill Gates
6. The ParetoUsability
Principle
Managing
80% of the work comes from
20% of the features
implementing
7. The ParetoUsability
Principle
Managing
But the most efficient amount of effort is
zero
8. Examples
Managing Usability
A website reuses features of the web browser
A web browser reuses features of the GUI
A GUI reuses features of the Operating System
This is why we're stuck with some outdated
concepts – replacing them is too difficult
9. Enter Usability
UCD
Managing
User-centered design leads to specialisation and
the creation of new things
The results are better for users
But not so good for developers?
10. Chinese Whispers
Managing Usability
Do the developers really understand why usability
matters?
Without a direct line of communication, the input
of the usability professional can be distorted
Developers may feel that user-centered designs
are unreasonable if they cannot see the benefit
11. La Resistance
Managing Usability
UCD might force developers out of their comfort
zone
“This isn't a design, it's just a set of pictures!”
The developers aren't seeing the bigger picture
12. Management
Managing Usability
Fortunately for the project, one man can link the
whole thing together...
14. Or maybe not
Managing Usability
Often, managers don't understand usability or
software development
As a result, managers cannot impose usability
on a software development team
They just want to get something delivered
15. Who suffers most?
Managing Usability
When a project goes wrong, the blame game can
begin
External consultants are first in the firing line
Developers may be able to blame 'unworkable'
designs
16. Who suffers most?
Managing Usability
Developers can hold up a project if they're not
happy
By the time the project is apparent, it may be too
late for you to do anything about it
17. The Solution
Managing Usability
Communication
Collaboration
Consideration
18. Know your team
Managing Usability
Work with the developers and not against them
Learn their capabilities and their limitations
Understand that usable solutions have costs for
the developers
19. Not manufacturing
Managing Usability
Software development is not manufacturing
Software design is not product design
It is a two-way process
20. Not manufacturing
Managing Usability
Software development is not manufacturing
Software design is not product design
It is a two-way process
21. Agile
Managing Usability
Software developers have been embracing new
methods of working
Agile development focuses on achievement of
concrete goals
Emphasis on prototyping reduces the cost of
trying something different
22. The Perfect Fit?
Managing Usability
Agile UCD
Prototype, revise, Prototype, revise,
rebuild redesign
Focus on high-value Focus on key user
components goals
Do what works Do what users want
Collaborate with Bring the users into
stakeholders the process
23. The Perfect Fit?
Managing Usability
Agile UCD
Prototype, revise, Prototype, revise,
rebuild redesign
Focus on high-value Focus on key user
components goals
Do what works Do what users want
Collaborate with Bring the users into
stakeholders the process
24. Prioritise
Managing Usability
Work out what's most important
Collaborate with developers in estimating the
cost
Work on completing the top priorities before the
small details trip you up
25. Summary
Managing Usability
Insist on direct lines of communication
Explain the user's point of view
Make it fun!
