Developing a User-CenteredInformation Radiator

Sammanfattning: The popularity of agile software development has grown rapidly over last decades as aresult of today's much volatile development processes with always changingconditions and requirements. Transitioning development teams and wholecorporations into this agile mindset is however most often a difficult undertaking.More demands for effective communication within development teams is just one ofall the aspects having an impact on the transition process.Information visualization tools, such as information radiators, has thus been created asa means for allowing a more efficient communication flow by displaying informationvisually at a glance.This thesis has through the use of a contextual design process designed andimplemented a working prototype of a software-based information radiatorapplication catering to the needs of an agile software development team. Applyingcontextual design contributed to a requirement specification taking the team's currentwork practices into account which in turn defined the features and interface design ofthe application. Lastly, a succeeding implementation process transformed theinformation radiator from concept into a fully working web application prototype.
