#1 UCD Problem Design specs. are never right from the beginning.
UCD Problem #2 Which features are most important?
UCD • UX design practices Good Bad • Design specs. are not flexible once implementation begins • No Feature priorities
Agile Problem #1 What about UX design?
Agile • Feature prioritization • End-user feedback on software deliverable Good Bad • No UX design practices
Agile and UX make good friends. Agile improves UCD through more frequent deliveries UCD improves agile through UX design practices

Integrating Agile-UX 1 2 Background Our systematic review
Systematic Review Goals • Amount of interest in Agile-UX? • Most popular venues? • Types of studies done? • Recommendations?
Related literature reviews Silva da Silva, 2011Sohaib, 2010
The parallel Agile-UX model (Silva Da Silva, 2011) Sprint 0 LDUF (Little Design Upfront) One Sprint Ahead
Other findings from related work • High amount of collaboration required • A lack of sound, controlled studies
What’s the point of systematic reviews? • Summarize all existing evidence on a research question • Evidence-based guidelines for practitioners
Methodology Automated search for papers 2011 - 2014 Snowball sampling from da Silva 2011 Opinion Philosophical Solution Experience Validation Evaluation Action Research Question-based Survey Case Study Focus Group Interview ANALYZED
More rigorous types of studies? • Evaluation: The investigation of a problem which is already in practice. • Validation: The investigation of a solution proposal which is not yet in practice.
Is the rate of publication increasing over time? Yes. Publications Year
Are the types of studies changing over time? More different types of studies being done within single papers.
As for recommendations.. There are some common pitfalls to avoid.
Recommendations? • Lightweight artifacts • Shared workspace • Balancing mechanism • Don’t spread UX designers too thin
Limitations • Snowball sampling of papers before 2011 • Search for papers and interpretation of results done mostly by first author • Low number of evaluation and validation papers • Excluded experience reports
