The document discusses how to incorporate user experience (UX) design principles into agile development processes. It recommends conducting quick user interviews to understand user needs, creating low-fidelity prototypes to test early with users, and iterating the prototypes based on user feedback to refine the design. Conducting rapid and frequent user testing is important to iteratively improve the design and ensure it meets user needs. Adopting an agile mindset of frequent collaboration, iteration and user feedback is key for meaningful UX work.

This is an interactive session â do you want to run away yet? Now is the time to do it.
This is why we have blow pops on all of the desks â so because we are going to have fun being interactive. Remember recess?
âWhy Oklahoma?â you ask - do you remember the musical? There is a song in there about how the farmer and the cowman should be friends. Who knew they werenât?!
Really, User experience and Agile should be friends. Both put the customer and their needs at the center of their thinking. Why canât we be friends?
Audience question â prizes!

Lovely white beach, isnât it? I was looking forward to sitting in the sun for a bit and then jumping in the water.
I guess not.
The âshakeâ function may not seem that exciting any more, but it definitely brought surprise and delight when it first came out.
This simple offer from the hotel (which even saves them money) surprised and delighted me! My user profile was excited to get money back for not having someone make my bed (which I am happy to do myself anyway)
Okay, so how do we understand users?
User interviews are helpful in understanding usersâ goals

Weâre lucky â since we have a brick and mortar presence, we are able to talk to users regularly. In fact, we do some sort of test or research almost once a week!
