The Professional Scrum with User Experience course is one of my favourites. Many companies struggle to integrate programmers and UX specialists. The struggle is real.
Companies often reinforce the division of discovery and design from development and delivery. These activities are often siloed—separated by time, teams, and priorities.
It may seem logical to perform design before development, but that excludes the whole team from feedback loops that drive high-quality design. And it seems efficient to have developers focus purely on coding requirements, but that limits iteration when new information and crucial variables emerge during development.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Integrating UX practices with iterative and incremental development practices helps ensure the teams build the right thing and build the thing right.
Scrum encourages cross-functional teams to produce slices of new functionality each Sprint—discovery, design, development, testing, and delivery can happen together with tight feedback loops.
I’ve worked with top companies that seamlessly integrate UX and Agile engineering practices. Join my PSU course: we debunk common myths, study common pitfalls, explore key concepts, and learn how to effectively blend UX and iterative and incremental development.
The PSU course is ideal for groups up to 20 or so. It’s great to combine UX specialists, programmers and testers in the course. It fosters shared understanding of their complementary skills and practices.
Contact me to discuss schedule and pricing for in-house private training at your company. Or, I offer the PSU course online a few times throughout the year - open to the public - and you’re welcome to register as an individual and perhaps with a friend.
Thanks for watching.
