Incorporating UX into an Agile Methodology
- 1. Incorporating UX into an Agile Methodology Amy Powell | Texas Law
- 2. So What Is Agile? The Agile Manifesto • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools • Working software over comprehensive documentation • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation • Responding to change over following a plan
- 3. Main Parts of Agile • Stories - Key elements of the system (user tasks) • Backlog - Prioritized list of story cards • Sprint - Developmental cycle • Scrum - Daily team communication • Burndown Chart - Chart that tracks works • Spike - Time allowed to learn
- 4. Three Principles for Incorporating UX into Agile • Iterate: Make Mistakes Faster • Scale: Do It With Less • Simplify: Keep It “Good Enough”
- 5. “The main change for user experience practitioners who must support an Agile team is in mindset.”
- 6. Iterate - Make Mistakes Faster • Use Sprint Zero to your advantage • Work one sprint ahead • Think in small chunks
- 7. “By making your UX work predictive rather than reactive, you will have the answers to user experience questions before the team asks.”
- 8. Scale - Do it with less • Use low-fi work and guerrilla tactics • Less reports, more action • Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize
- 9. “The trick is to ensure that any small amount of up-front time that you have is used wisely.”
- 10. Simplify - Keep it “good enough” • Say NO • Be okay with mistakes • You don’t need to know it all up front
- 11. “Sometimes a team needs to fail slightly in order to realize they have a need for more or different data.”
- 12. How I Did It - Sprint 0
- 13. Lessons I Learned • It’s easy to second guess yourself through the whole project. Don’t. • Be flexible and PAUSE if needed. • Listen to your team. Learn from them. • When planning, think in smaller chunks.
- 14. Lessons I Learned • A slower pace doesn’t mean less productivity. • It’s harder than you think to design mobile-first & atomically. • Purposely make mistakes to find solutions. • Design Studios are fun but a lot of work.
- 15. Deliverables Created in 10 Days • Competitor Analysis • Usability Tests & Highlight Video • Personas • Design Scenarios • Online Survey • Survey Results • Sketched Wireframes • Digital Wireframes • Working Prototype • User Stories
- 16. Final Thoughts on UX + Agile • UX must work one step ahead • Use design spikes • Work as a team • Work through chaos by prioritizing • Always know the most valuable thing you can do • UX is the gatekeeper role
- 17. "If there isn’t an evangelical, charismatic and well-respected individual on the team who will push the Agile process, become that person."
