I've presented this talk for a client in Los Angeles, CA during the kick-of of a new project. The intent of this presentation was to create a common context and shared vision on how we approach the UX role within an agile environment developing software.

The living style guide lives in the code and
evolves with the application. It’s a
collaboration tool for the entire team, not
only designers.
