UX?

Gull-Wing Doors

UX practitioners would often mistake their complete vision through their

prototype as being - 'all the developer would need'

Unforeseen edge cases can kill final

development

What we did before:

We would design the moving car and then panic about how to change the

tires while it was moving.

We want the result to be this:

Scene from ‘Tucker’

not this:

Scene from ‘Gung Ho’

That won’t be edged-out

New design!

Either the world adopts and changes to your

design

or the world rejects your design and it fails

Find where your design fails...

before the world does.

we need to get over ourselves

Typical Designer

the reality

You’re all equally worthless!

Alone, you’re all equally worthless!

Agile is not a fad

and Design is behind the

curve

TRUST

Getting beyond the old ‘ Design vs. Programming’

antagonism

Shared commitments, Shared successes, and perhaps most importantly, Shared failures build trust.

Who is the biggest influence on your work?

let’s examine this:

YOU

We must overcome our inflated sense of what

we know

BECOME A UX LEADER FIRST

UX leadership starts with understandingwhat questions to ask in order to understand

what the problems really are

The first step in learning to be a great teammate is to earn your teams’ mutual respect and acceptance.

SERVE THE VISION BYSERVING THE TEAM

The key is to approach each interaction with a servant’s heart. When you truly focus on contributing more than receiving you will have accomplished the goal. Even though this may seem counter-intuitive,

by intensely focusing on the other party’s wants, needs & desires, you’ll learn far more than you ever would by

focusing on your agenda.

One of the common patterns you’ll see in successful agile/UX combinations is having the UX designer embedded with the rest

of the product development team.

When to Design:Pre-Sprint or In-Sprint?

Emergent(AKA Piecemeal?)

Large, Encompassing, Amorphous (Epic)

Small, Discrete,Resolved (Story)

Building great stuff is a team effort that’s hard...

and possibly dangerous!
