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).

When user experience met agile: a case study
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn mid-2007, one part of the technology organization at our company decided to develop a very large project using scrum, an agile programming methodology. The decision to go with scrum was made from a software development perspective and how the user ...
User-centered design, activity-centered design, and goal-directed design: a review of three methods for designing web applications
SIGDOC '09: Proceedings of the 27th ACM international conference on Design of communicationWhen conducting research with users in order to design web applications, the practitioner has a variety of methods from which to choose. This paper examines three such methods'User-Centered Design (UCD), Goal-Directed Design (GDD), and Activity-Centered ...
Agile user centered design: enter the design studio - a case study
CHI EA '08: CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we describe the merger of user centered design into agile (team) development practice as manifest in a one day design studio. Benefits and challenges to a design studio approach are discussed, and the evolution of one design using the ...
