Following a call for nominations to the new 2011 SUGSA Committee, a total of 5 candidates put forward their credentials during the time allotted in terms of the SUGSA election procedure.
Because 5 elected members ideally constitute a SUGSA Committee, the outgoing Committee deemed it unnecessary to hold a round of voting to determine the Committee for the new year. Consequently, it is with pleasure that I inform you that the 2011 SUGSA Committee comprises Marius de Beer, Charl Dreyer, Kevin Fourie, Karen Greaves and Peter Hundermark.
One of the first tasks awaiting the new Committee will be to elect office bearers; once this has been done you will be notified by email.
On behalf of SUGSA, the outgoing Committee, and all SUGSA members, I would like to extend our best wishes to the 2011 SUGSA Committee for a successful year growing the awareness and practice of Scrum in South Africa.

Topic: UX and User Centered Design in Agile Development with Phillip Barrett
The most reliable way to achieve usability and deliver the right user experience is with user-centred design.
It’s a collection of tools and techniques that helps digital project teams stay focused on what customers need right the way through the design process. The talk will cover some basics on what UX is and then focus on Phillip’s experience using this approach with agile teams and the challenges this imposes.

Phillip Barrett is a director of Flow Interactive, a user experience design, research and strategy consultancy based in London.
He’s been consulting in user experience since 1999, when he joined Flow. He’s designed all sorts of user experiences and worked with hundreds of users in the process. He’s worked with plenty of different client organisations too – including Vodafone, Standard Life and The BBC.
