Abstract

User Experience and Agile Software Development are both user-focused iterative methods. Usually they both are difficult to realize as per the theoretical concepts in real world development. The challenge is how to integrate them in the development process.

There is a need for gaining perspective from all the stakeholders which includes not only customers but internal teams involved in development. This approach will lay the foundation of taking care of the requirements from both the product and human perspective so that the development and expectations are consistent.

The paper will present the framework for managing the design of processes for each stake holders – Developer, QA, Customer and Management. The framework tries to resolve the complexity that evolves through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
