Agile development has become a standard practice at many companies. Developers love Agile’s emphasis on code quality and sustainable pace. Managers love frequent delivery of features with greater visibility into the process. Yet, important questions remain. What is the role of UX designers in an Agile project? How can we work at a sustainable pace? How can we help the team deliver in the near term without losing sight of the big picture? In this talk, Lane will share insights learned working with Agile teams and share practical tips and tricks to help you integrate UX design into your Agile projects.
