some agile ux values

deliverables are dead…

collaboration over documentation

this facilitates iteration and is good enough for the largest bank in the world

iteration over up-front perfection

photoshop is a waste of time and effort…

it’s not done until it’s usable and brings value to the business

think about what is the best solution and how you get there (or not)

personas

as [persona],I want to [goal],so that [reason]

story structure

Never forget that a story is only ever supposed to be the opening / an invitation to a conversation - the meat is in the acceptance tests and inter-personal dialogueIt is not the answer

epics…themes…stories…

stories

Epic‣Simply a groupingTheme‣UX granularity, typically a simple, defined user

goal following the standard “story” patternStory‣Developer granularity always following with

standard “story” pattern‣Definition, acceptance tests and score (story

points) done as a collaboration between UX and Engineering

sketch, prototype, share and iterate when you need to

sprint one:

fx spot trading

detailed stories

sprint one

as a speculator I want to:‣ select which currencies exchange rates I can see so

that I only have to cope with the information (currencies) I deal with

‣ see the price for buying and selling for each of those currencies so that I can watch the “spread”

‣ specify the amount I want to buy / sell separately for each currency so that I can see how much it would actually cost (based on “volume discounts”)

‣ see which way the prices are moving in real time so that I can see which way the price just moved

‣ see which way the prices are trending over time so that I can understand which way the market is moving

‣ see prices from multiple dealers for each currency/amount so that I can pick the best deal

sprint two:

fx forwards

themes

sprint three

as a speculator I want to:‣be able to get a price quote and execute

trades for any time up to a year in advance
