ABSTRACT

The goal of this workshop is to improve future Agile user centred design (UCD) experiences for User Experience (UX) practitioners (such as interaction designers, usability professionals, UI designers, etc.) by investigating best practices for Agile UCD. To achieve this, senior UX practitioners with prior experience on an Agile project will share their knowledge, collaborating in order to:

  • Identify success factors for Agile UCD
  • Find and remove obstacles that block Agile UCD
  • Find opportunities that Agile projects give us
  • Identify best UX practices for Agile UCD
  • Identify UX skills that Agile projects need.

The results of this investigation will be shared with the wider UX community (including those new to Agile development practices).
