What Designers do in Agile or Scrum

[@tysonhuriwai3277]

Hi, I am just an ordinary bloke who scaffolds for a living and has an innovative product that I want to implement in the professional sporting industry. I have very basic knowledge when it comes to business so I am trying to learn in my own time after work. I am so grateful for your channel and content 🙌🏾

Hi Alvin! This is a great video that I shared with my work friends who are unsure of how they fit into an agile/scrum framework. What’s your opinion in scenarios where the UX team is a separate org from the Product/Tech teams, especially in a Scrum framework where designs are a dependency for the Tech build? At my company, designers can be considered a borrowed resource and Product would simply ask and expects designs to be turned around in a very short timeframe, without really paying attention to their capacity and workload. I find this to be a consequence of Product and the Tech Scrum Master feel that it is not their responsibility to manage the designer from a Scrum perspective. Could you also do a video on Design Ops and Design Program Management (DPM)? I’m not sure of the UX community is aware of these roles and their responsibilities. Thanks!

Does the Retrospective also occur immediately after the go/no go decision?

[@relabstudios]

Hi @ABChi22 , yes I would suggest having the Retrospective right after while it's still fresh✨

[@djashawe88923]

Thanks a lot for the great content. I subscribed to your channel, liked your videos, and have been binge-watching them one by one. I have a question. Do User Research, Competitor Analysis, Market research, Mappings, Journeys, and Flows take place in the Understand Phase?

[@RemcoBakker548]

If you add a design sprint/phase after an agile dev cycle, what would the devs work on while designers design another iteration? Do they wait until design is finished?

[@RemcoBakker548]

Hello?🙂

[@madarauchiha5433]

Hey Alvin, how is Agile methoadology better when it comes to product design as appose to tradition waterfall method?

[@tangik432]

This is great

[@okezsoke]

So...basically you need to insert a mini UX design waterfall projekt between the agile sprints if you are not lucky. That's a problem. What should devs do until they are waiting for the UX?

[@sujaybhagwat387]

Hello, I have a question. Do you also have a video or a blog which explain an end-to-end agile process for website project? If yes, that will be great. If not, please share references where I can learn more about this.

[@heyons2808]

Informative video but dude make the screen larger it’s impossible to read/reference back on phone without pausing and zooming 😅

[@MukeshThakur]

From dev pov Is agile for just one project or all projects?

[@relabstudios]

I’d say not all projects are created equal. Some are better to be waterfall and some are perfect for agile. There’s a methodology known as “hybrid” where they typically run with waterfall from the macro and agile in the micro. Perhaps we can do a video on this to help explain soon!

[@LM43243]

Awesome video, many thanks man! One question though, at 4:30 you show the relationship between the design thinking design process and the development cycle, aren't those two done simultaneously, but instead of the design feeding into the dev cycle, the previous sprint's design feeds into the cycle while new design is being created during development. Sorry if this was confusing, but I hope that you get my question :) Cheers

[@henkegiaretta]

Yes this was my thought aswell 🙂 it seems like a waste of time for developers to sit and wait for the design process to finish.

[@shesanosan]

What if as a designer you have nothing to contribute during the daily stand up since you have said it is more about supporting developers. Then is it important to still attend regulalry?

[@kylenicholas6362]

Depends on how it’s facilitated. Daily scrum should be treated as a short planning event, so a developer may call out that they need your eyes on something after the call, or need your advice on how to progress. If it’s being run as a status update, it makes no sense for anyone to attend because that can be an email.

[@sayaleerakh3175]

Watching this before my interview, very insightful thanks!!

[@relabstudios]

@sayaleerakh3175 Amazing! This might be too late but hopefully the interview went well!

[@messagedeleted3526]

UXers shouldn’t use design thinking lol DT was created from UX, just used superficially for people that don’t work in UX and boiled it down to a trendy exercise non-designers use to “solve problems”. Now as for a designers role in Agile, be strategic, ask questions, discover the underlying problem to a feature, and use critical thinking in your process. Everything else is iterative. Discover, research, ideate, prototype, test and deploy. This is best used in dual track agile.

[@relabstudios]

You got it buddy!

[@camgere]

The terms "designer", "design thinking", "design sprint", "developer" and "development sprint" don't mean what they mean in English. "Software designer" would probably be silly.

[@GvantsaGuliashvili]

Super helpful video!

[@relabstudios]

Thanks Gvantsa
