Presentation Title:Successfully Blending Agile Methods and Design Thinking

Track:Advancing Agility

Presentation Time: 10:30am
Duration: 90 minutes

Several years ago, two agilists (your humble hosts) met and started sharing experiences using agile methods to produce products and their frustrations when "being Agile" was more valued than meeting users needs. Our session draws on our shared experiences blending design thinking (e.g. user centered design) and agile methods to discover and deliver meaningful products. We will cover product design, pragmatic personas, customer discover, story mapping and story telling and more as we teach techniques and share experiences using agility to produce products validated with real user communities.
