What you do matters a lot
UX is needed for excellence

Research says:
We live in interesting times
@stacysurla #sprintzerosucks
Bringing UX into Agile using Sprint Zero
produces less excellent results than
integrating UX into the work of the whole team.
= Sprint Zero sucks.
Hypothesis:
@stacysurla #sprintzerosucks
Surveyed 516 people
59 responses
BA, PM, Tech, Visual, UX
UX and Agile Research
Respondents
by role
Who does UX
tasks?
How well did the project go for:
Users, Client, Team, Overall?
@stacysurla #sprintzerosucks
When was UX done? When should UX
have been done?
UX and Agile Research
How does the
timing of UX
involvement
affect the
outcomes of
Agile projects?
@stacysurla #sprintzerosucks
Agile teams don't want to wait for [UX] results
because they are often focused on getting things
done
Early and frequent UX iterations mean less time
spent by developers getting to done.
UX frequently needs to come behind functionality
and is often dictated by the solution platform.
[We need to do our work] without being
encumbered by visual prejudices
UX is the driving force behind the user's
interaction with the product. Designing early while
developing features is essential, however being
able to respond to user feedback during sprint
cycles is a great case for the Agile approach.
There doesn't seem to be a real understanding of
how to integrate UX into the process.
Working a problem, from research to possible
design solution, before AND during the sprints…
typically yields a better product. "Sprint zero”... is
important, but so is working and iterating through a
design problem with the developers. We try to
make our user stories as robust as possible, but
there's no way to cover everything. Working
alongside the developers closes those gaps.
We need the time and creative trust/buy-in to
make any real difference.
[T]he devs and PM look more for UX on demand,
or even [as] a blessing after the fact
If the UX team would have been involved prior to
development, the project would have been
successful… it was too late. We were recently
ordered a stop-work order
[There are] too many other items that can surface
that take time away from UX
[UX] causes developers to have to undo and redo
work as UX folks and the clients change their
minds
I've tried the "let's do design and dev in one two-
week sprint" approach, and it was painful, and led
to poor outcomes.
I have seen many teams try to run UX in parallel
with dev and have never seen it succeed.

Designing early while developing features is essential, however being able to respond to user feedback during sprint cycles is a great case for the Agile approach. There doesn't seem to be a real understanding of how to integrate UX into the process. Working a problem, from research to possible design solution, before AND during the sprints… typically yields a better product. "Sprint zero”... is important, but so is working and iterating through a design problem with the developers. We try to make our user stories as robust as possible, but there's no way to cover everything. Working alongside the developers closes those gaps. We need the time and creative trust/buy-in to make any real difference. [T]he devs and PM look more for UX on demand, or even [as] a blessing after the fact If the UX team would have been involved prior to development, the project would have been successful… it was too late. We were recently ordered a stop-work order [There are] too many other items that can surface that take time away from UX [UX] causes developers to have to undo and redo work as UX folks and the clients change their minds I've tried the "let's do design and dev in one two- week sprint" approach, and it was painful, and led to poor outcomes. I have seen many teams try to run UX in parallel with dev and have never seen it succeed. Agile teams don't want to wait for [UX] results because they are often focused on getting things done Early and frequent UX iterations mean less time spent by developers getting to done. UX frequently needs to come behind functionality and is often dictated by the solution platform. [We need to do our work] without being encumbered by visual prejudices Before During NeverBefore During Never I've tried the "let's do design and dev in one two-week sprint" approach, and it was painful, and led to poor outcomes.
