Lean UX in an Agile Enterprise

2018 IA Summit

Cost

$350 USD

Time(s)

March 22, 2018
1:30 PM to 5:30 PM CT

Description

Agile has gained traction within enterprise organizations as a way to deliver software
rapidly, but it was originally conceived as a process for developers – not for defining the user experience.

UX professionals – who may be accustomed to perfecting their ideas before sharing them – can benefit from engaging their core cross-functional team to ideate and create solutions.

In this workshop lean UX practices will be introduced as methods to engage the whole team in defining product features and generating solutions. Additionally, we will examine how user experience can better position itself within an agile enterprise.

What you’ll take back to work from this workshop:

– Understand how UX fits into the agile development process
– Why good communication is emphasized over documentation and creating deliverables
– Why creating a feature iteratively allows for refinement as well as the ability to pivot and change direction quickly
– How to define a design cadence that feeds the development backlog
– How to run a design studio with a core cross-functional team to generate ideas for features
– How to validate UX concepts by testing with customers before providing designs to development
