Designprocessen i en agil IT-miljö

Sammanfattning: The field of software and web development is constantly changing, which is why the agile methods were created and are now the standard in many companies. Design and development go hand in hand, especially with the popularity of practices like User Experience, but how design is implemented into the agile processes is not always clear. Through literature reviews along with qualitative research we gain insight into the agile work processes of a local IT-company to pinpoint common struggles and factors for success. We found several key aspects to integrating the work of designers and agile developers. Successful projects are driven by clear communication, allowing the designers to lay out some groundwork in advance and working in parallel sprints.
