This is a really cool presentation in both form and content. Nevertheless, considering that several businesses still have development approaches based on the waterfall model, or worse none at all, resorting to firefighting most of the time, have there been any discussions or publications on how to optimise the reach of UxD/IA/HCI/IxD on a waterfall framework?
I have my doubts on whether Agile development can be so effective compared against a well-planned and researched waterfall approach. Whereas the (bad) waterfall approach seems to elongate development by generating masses of documentation and getting itself attached to the letter to the point of utter delusion and detachment from reality, Agile seems to suck the life out of programmers, developers and designers into long hours of re-planning and re-working to satisfy the so-called flexibility the approach boasts. At the same time, I haven't seen evidence that one approach produces an impact in the quality of the product offered. Luis I thought it was pertinent because it is from a UX pro (IA) perspective and > is very relevant to the discussion here. (Also, interesting approach on > the > slides.) > ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
