Tips for Integrating Agile UX
Into Big Organizations

Tip #2:
Clear UX DoD
What exactly is acceptable deliveryfor the upcoming sprint?
Specific Part? Something Similar? Full, accurate delivery?
The design:
DoD: Definition of Done
Tip #3:
It Is All About CommunicationWorking with local teams• Sit together
• Constant feedback – don’t communicate in “meetings”
Tip #3:
It Is All About CommunicationWorking with remote teams• Support autonomy base on agreed
guidelines • Don’t be a stranger – face to face it
Tip #3:
It Is All About CommunicationIn any case, remember to listen –UX doesn’t own the truth.
Takeaways!
Takeaways• Agile UX - Planning & Research
Sprint 0 UX design and test - a sprint ahead of development
(PMs – 2 sprints ahead) Design Spikes
• UX should be part of the MVP (i.e. move from MVP to MLP)• For each UI task – provide a clear Definition of Done. • It is all about effective communication
