When organizations adopt an agile approach to development there is so much focus on the iterative nature of agile development that long range vision and strategic product design, "The Big Picture", can get lost. In this workshop, Certified Scrum Trainer and Agile Process Mentor, Jimi Fosdick, PMP, CST discusses the need to include long term product vision, coherent user experience and User Centered design and architecture along with specific best practices for achieving a coherent product that delights users and walks participants through hands on, game-based, exercises to achieve that goal. Topics will include: Discussion of Product Vision and hands-on experience crafting a compelling overall vision Discussion of User-Centered/Value-Driven design and hands-on exercises to incorporate user experience (UX) and software architecture early in the development process Explanation of the pitfalls of a lack of vision and so-called "hybrid" models for incorporating UX and architecture into agile projects including the exercise "How To Tell If Your Vision is Impaired"
