Scrum and User Experience Design (Los Angeles, CA)

The Scrum Club is putting on the following event. What is scrum?
Scrum provides us with a great framework for building our Scrum team, implementing the core agile practices and getting the inspect and adapt process started. But Scrum doesn’t provide much for the specific disciplines like programming, testing and User Experience. That’s where our coaches Patrick Neeman and Michael Vincent come in.
Join us as we explore how User Experience Design integrates with the Scrum process. We’ll see first hand how each type of activity fits into the Scrum cycles, and how our User Experience researchers, designers and artists integrate into a Scrum team.
We’ll lay a little foundation with a clear explanation of the core Scrum strategies and how typical User Experience activities map to the Scrum framework. Then we’ll get hands-on and gain experience by running a few live agile cycles to design the interface for an on-line version of Corporate Espionage!
By the end of the evening, you’ll have gained valuable insights into how to integrate User Experience activities into the Scrum process that you can take back and apply to your projects immediately.
