Integrating User Experience and Agile

Many companies mistakenly view Agile as nothing more than a process or methodology that will solve their development woes and permit them to launch better software faster. In this presentation however, Bermon Painter will focus on sharing Agile as a way to think about how software could be created and ways in which user experience can be integrated. UX practitioners, designers and developers are all welcome.

This presentation will cover:

• A better definition of User Experience and the disciplines involved
• A brief explanation of Agile
• Difficulties that exist when integrating user experience and Agile
• Ways to improve integrating user experience in an Agile setting
