Abstract

The integration of the User Centred Design (UCD) in Agile systems development processes (Agile) is not without problems. The context of Agile strongly affects the possibilities of IT professionals to conduct user centred activities in their work. In this workshop we will address challenges and success stories and best practices from integrating UCD into Agile in practice, values and perspectives underpinning UCD and Agile in theory, theories and methods relevant for doing research on Agile and UCD as well as the future of research trends on the integration of UCD in Agile. The overall objective of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners, from within and outside of HCI, to begin the process of shaping the future of Agile and UCD research. The workshop has two goals: (1) Identifying future trends for research on Agile and UCD (2) Identify challenges and success stories when working with UCD and Agile.
