I’m not an expert in Scrum methodology, but after working and collaborating for 3 years as part of a Scrum team, here are some ways we’ve a got to introduce User Experience practices into agile development:
- Getting User Stories talk about real people and needs (Personas)
- Getting Epics talk about user scenarios
- Product backlog grooming on Design Studio’s sessions
- One sprint ahead for High-fidelity designs (better option maybe would be a Design spike)
- Usability expert consultancy during the sprint
- Cognitive walkthrough during review sessions
