Abstract

Agile methods and interaction design can be seen as incompatible software development methodologies: both suggest processes for creating high-quality software--one is arguing for quickly moving towards the source code level while the other suggests to wait with implementation activities until the design of the software is clearly laid out from a user's perspective. This apparent discrepancy is surprising given that both approaches put a strong emphasis on human aspects in software development.

Agile methods focus on creating quality software with high business value but do not explicitly talk about how to ensure that the software is usable--this is the realm of interaction design. The presentation discusses commonalities and differences between both approaches and points towards integration opportunities: how can agile teams use interaction design approaches to create usable software with high business value.

Adopting to Agile Software Development

Abstract Agile software development can be made successful, but there is no well-defined way how to achieve this. The problem is that the successful adoption of agile methods and practices is a complex process and this process should be customizable for ...

AGILEINDIA '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Agile India

Agile methods are an established process for developing software nowadays. There is, however, less evidence on their usage among software practitioners in Malaysia. While the methods have become mainstream in other regions, that is not the case in this ...
