Points• Backlog• Velocity/ Burndown• Retrospectives

Process Maturity and Convergence

Competition – Old Thinking• Product: Closed
Source• Process: Project/Date
Focused• Teams:
– Segmented Skills/ Input– Date driven, “Done
yet?”– hierarchical
• Process: 50% Transparent
• Design:– All up front (waterfall)– All at the end (lipstick)
Collaboration – New Thinking• Product: Open Source• Process: Business
Value / Priority Focused
• Teams:– Interdisciplinary– Scope driven sprints– Flat
• Process: 100% Transparent
• Design:– Integrated throughout
Collaboration makes for unbeatable Competition

• Manage Risk and Complexity
• Evaluate UI/UX choices as Options
Scope is Everything

• Design iterations ahead of Dev iterations
• Importance of Backlog
• Ongoing Feedback

Toolset Maturity + Process Convergence
• Process Maturity• Platform Maturity• Device Maturity• Data visualization
– Grids, charts, graphs, maps• User Maturity – customization and
control– ‘User Directed Interfaces’ as opposed to
‘design for user’

Changing frame of reference
©COPYRIGHT 2009 Three Pillar Global, Inc., All Rights Reserved
• Communication Challenges– Web 2.0, 3.0, Drag-and-Drop, ZZZzzzzzz– Invalidated notions of finished states
• Reference the way successful sites LOOK• Reference the way successful sites ACT
– Mint.com– Anything Google– Anything Desktop, fat client experience
Changing frame of reference
©COPYRIGHT 2009 Three Pillar Global, Inc., All Rights Reserved
• How people work:– Determining Risk and Complexity– Lack of knowledge of ‘Big App’ development– Lack of pattern knowledge on the infrastructure side of
RIA• Knowledge Gap – ‘Honest Mistakes’
– Customers/Designers don’t know what is available in the toolbox
• Serialized analysis/ design cycles• Too much customization
• Consistency to a fault• Inconsistent business rules for a ‘consistent’ UI
Where Things go Wrong
©COPYRIGHT 2009 Three Pillar Global, Inc., All Rights Reserved
• Working: Quicker Feedback/ Dev iterations
• Designing– Focus on Interactions and re-use– Design Pattern Library– Design Component Library [Style Guide]
• Developing– Custom Components– Aesthetics: Renderer/ Templates/ Themes
Squaring the Circle
©COPYRIGHT 2009 Three Pillar Global, Inc., All Rights Reserved
• Modals/ Error• Form Validation• Search/ Find / Browse• Navigation vs. Action
Ext JS as Design Pattern Library

Agile + Ext JS + Omnigraffle
©COPYRIGHT 2009 Three Pillar Global, Inc., All Rights Reserved
• Meeting Facilitation– High resolution wireframes remove Hand
Waving + Leap of Faith
• Constraints on Design– Working ‘with’ or ‘against’ the Framework– Scope/LOE
• Consistency
Agile + Ext JS + Omnigraffle

• Maintaining shared understanding• Agile UX
– Prototype driven analysis• Business, customer, and dev team stakeholders
– Text based ‘wireframes’• Ext JS Component architecture allows for meta-code
descriptions– TPG Envision
• Distributed Design– Location independent teams/ interdisciplinary skills/
skill levels– Process maturity, deliverables, infrastructure
Distributed Design
©COPYRIGHT 2009 Three Pillar Global, Inc., All Rights Reserved
• Developers– Common language for discussion w/ designers– API, Docs, examples
• Customers– Highly visual deliverables– 80%/20% out of the box
• UX/ Interaction Designers– Ext JS Designer– Ext JS example site == Design Pattern Library– Omnigraffle Stencil == Rapid Prototyping– Ext JS Designer!!
What’s in it for me?
