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.
