- 20. RSP’s wealth of experience and impressive portfolio was locked in endless Excel Spreadsheets and a legacy database. They approached Savant Degrees to develop new database to manage their knowledge 20 The Brief “We need to build a new database”
- 21. Reframing the brief We recognized that although a new database would increase RSP’s efficiency, it wouldn’t help grow the business by improving the sales experience. We approached the problem from a new perspective: How can RSP better showcase their brand’s experience and expertise to potential clients?
- 22. Together with the management and staff of RSP, we approached the new goal collaboratively to uncover insights and ideas based on real user goals Activities: Operations Gap Analysis • Comprehensive user interviews User-centric ideation workshop • Management & staff buy-in A Collaborative Approach to Solutions

- 64. 64 USER EXPERIENCE IN AN AGILE WORLD How to reconcile the best from the two communities: UX Designers and Developers
- 65. “We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more” 65
- 66. Why Agile Methodology? Time to Market + Sustainable pace 1. Fast Delivery: Increment of working software each iteration 2. Focus on Business value: Important features first, less waste 3. Informed decisions: Decide in the latest responsible moment 66 Cost of Change
- 68. • Critical to have commitment from decision makers • Reduction of communication and process friction: backlog management, project wiki, version control, automated testing, continuous integration, issue management • Granularity of User Story and definition of ‘done’ • Big design up-front and architecture • Project Management & Task Allocation. By Product Owner? • Agile doesn’t mean no project plan • Scope management versus contract management 68
- 69. “We have heard about new ways of developing software by paying consultants and reading Gartner reports. Through this we have been told to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools and we have mandatory processes and tools to control how those individuals (we prefer the term ‘resources’) interact Working software over comprehensive documentation as long as that software is comprehensively documented Customer collaboration over contract negotiation within the boundaries of strict contracts, of course, and subject to rigorous change control Responding to change over following a plan provided a detailed plan is in place to respond to the change, and it is followed precisely That is, while the items on the left sound nice in theory, we’re an enterprise company, and there’s no way we’re letting go of the items on the right.” 69

- 72. UX = What? • Who is the user? • What problem to solve? Agile Development = How? • Technical solution User research Agile feedback loop Opportunities for research and co-design 72
- 73. • Trust and earned respect between designers and developers • Presence in the life of the scrum team • Frequent communication outside of standard agile interactions 73
- 74. • Unclear expectations about the role of UX on the team • Conflicting expectations around quality, fit, and finish • Lack of holistic planning and prioritization for the user experience • Perception that technical staff is disinterested in users’ needs • Being disconnected from the regular activities of the scrum team 74
