Abstract

In the agile and user-centered design (UCD) communities it is often believed that agile's quick development cycles do not allow time to fully understand our user's needs. In our experience it is just the opposite: agile and UCD methods are not at odds with each other. As more development teams using UCD are finding, the iterative approach to agile is a natural fit for UCD. Though we have day to day challenges, we are successfully demonstrating how two UCD teammates on the agile team can aid in upfront and continual user input.

UCD: critique via parody and a sequel
CHI EA '12: CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

User-Centred Design (UCD) can't and doesn't design on its own. Parasitic on software design, and appropriating participatory design, UCD is legitimated by what other design traditions allegedly do not do, rather than what UCD actually does make happen. ...

Abstract
One of the most important aspects of software development is that the software is suitable for the intended users. Software professionals often tailor software development to their own needs, resulting in the software being unsuitable for many ...
