Miller, Lynn and Sy, Desiree (2009): Agile user experience SIG. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 2751-2754. Available online

“Agile development is being adopted by companies with greater frequency every year, resulting in changes to the way user experience practitioners work. Unfortunately, there has been little guidance on how to incorporate User Centered Design (UCD) into the agile process so most practitioners either struggle alone or seek out others in the same boat. The goal of this SIG is to draw upon the shared experience of these practitioners to uncover the best practices for agile user-centered design to facilitate optimal product development.”

Sy, Desiree and Miller, Lynn (2008): Optimizing agile user-centred design. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 3897-3900. Available online

“The goal of this workshop is to improve future Agile user centred design (UCD) experiences for User Experience (UX) practitioners (such as interaction designers, usability professionals, UI designers, etc.) by investigating best practices for Agile UCD. To achieve this, senior UX practitioners with prior experience on an Agile project will share their knowledge, collaborating in order to: * Identify success factors for Agile UCD * Find and remove obstacles that block Agile UCD * Find opportunities that Agile projects give us * Identify best UX practices for Agile UCD * Identify UX skills that Agile projects need. The results of this investigation will be shared with the wider UX community (including those new to Agile development.”

Sy, Desiree (1994): Bridging the Communication Gap in the Workplace with Usability Engineering. In: ACM Twelfth International Conference on Systems Documentation 1994. pp. 208-212. Available online

“How can we make products, including documentation, more usable? The first and most difficult step in the process is to make a commitment to improve the usability of the product through the whole development cycle; usability is not a surface quality, but a holistic one, and must be considered at all stages of development. The major barrier to implementing usability is the chasm that exists between designers and the users for whom they design. Usability engineering methodologies are tools that can bridge the communication gap between designers and users, and also improve communication among all members of the development team.”

“ Whenever we capture the complexity of the real world in formal structures, whether language, social structures, or computer systems, we are creating discrete tokens for continuous and fluid phenomena. In so doing, we are bound to have difficulty. However, it is only in doing these things that we can come to understand, to have valid discourse, and to design. ”

-- Alan Dix, p. 427 in "Upside-down A's and Algorithms - Computational Formalisms and Theory"
