An Agile User-Centered Method: Rapid Contextual Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agile methods have proven their worth in keeping a development team focused on producing high-quality code quickly.

In this paper we show how one user-centered design method, Contextual Design, forms a natural fit with agile methods and recount our experience with such combined projects.
