My introduction to Agile...
“There’s a whole team of developers and I’m the only UX designer. They’re building features faster than I can design them. I can’t keep up!”
Feeding the beast
“Yes, we technically delivered all the features this sprint, but looking at the big picture, the design’s an incoherent mess!”
Sprint Tunnel-Vision
“Our PO’s under pressure to deliver the next release and signing off on features despite crap-ass usability. Help!”
Half-Baked UX
Sunday, February 26, 12
Why the dysfunction?- Play the waterfall game on an Agile playing field and not even knowing it.- Lacking the thinking tools to know how to play the Agile game.
