ux in a dual track agile world
DESCRIPTION
What do you get when user experience drives the agile process? Dual-Track Agile, where the features of the product are discovered alongside the development of the product itself. This session will explain what dual-track agile is, the benefits of dual-track agile, the role of UX, and what to expect. It will focus on the discovery cycle, the role of validated hypotheses and assumptions and how UX uniquely contributes to this invaluable process.TRANSCRIPT
