Are agile and user experience design compatible? Can they work together or is agile a square hole to the UX round peg? We contend that they are compatible. We help you recognize your company's UX appetite, regardless of software methodology. We then look at how agile changes things, discuss some of the UX practices developers need to understand (including CRAP), show how UX and developers can collaborate, and finally discuss agile and UX in the wild.

A common question asked by teams adopting agile is "what does business analysis look like in agile?" The common answer is "writing user stories". WRONG! Okay, maybe not wrong, but certainly not the whole story (pardon the pun). Business analysis in agile is concerned with understanding the problem and possible solutions in order to ensure the team is building the right thing. User stories can be helpful, but are certainly not sufficient for doing that. In this session, Kent McDonald describes how you can perform just enough business analysis to discover the right things to build. This includes how to really use value to decide what to build first, why process flows, data models, and mockups are still extremely helpful, and why the function of user stories is more important than their form. Along the way, Kent shares examples from a system replacement project he is working on and suggests ways you can apply these techniques to your own projects.

Analysis In Agile: It's More than Just User Stories

Kent McDonald

Build – Measure – Learn is one of the most important mechanisms of agile software development. However, this mechanism is often crippled in nowadays projects, where traditional approaches of requirements gathering are bloating up product backlogs that cannot be prioritized anymore in a meaningful way. The results are customers not interested in iteration results, release to production that happens only at the end of the project, and feedback from customers when it is already too late and the budget is burned up. Story mapping is a method that aligns user stories along desirable outcomes, so that customers can give sooner meaningful feedback, and release to production can happen earlier. The method helps slicing and prioritizing user stories, and addresses the product design aspect that is missing when just working with a product backlog. The method is highly visual and facilitates shared product ownership among product owner, team and customer. This presentation provide an introduction to the concept of story mapping, with examples and experience gathered in own projects.

The standard Salesforce Approval process can be limiting in many ways, especially in complex scenarios. What if there was a way to implement very flexible approvals where one can use Apex code to make data updates in unrelated records, dynamically generate next steps details, and compute assignees on the fly? And still use UI-based configurations to implement concrete approval processes. In this session, we will share ideas behind such a solution and show a few lines of code to get you started.

Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “Enterprise Knowledge Graphs: The Importance of Semantics” on May 9, 2024, at the annual Data Summit in Boston. In her presentation, Hedden describes the components of an enterprise knowledge graph and provides further insight into the semantic layer – or knowledge model – component, which includes an ontology and controlled vocabularies, such as taxonomies, for controlled metadata. While data experts tend to focus on the graph database components (RDF triple store or a label property graph), Hedden emphasizes they should not overlook the importance of the semantic layer.
