Taylor & Francis Ltd HumanCentered Agile
Book SynopsisThis book is a guide on how to apply Human-Centered Design (HCD) practices to an Agile product development model that is used widely throughout industry and government, where it is applied primarily to software and technology development efforts. This has been an ongoing industry challenge due to the fact that HCD prioritizes time spent understanding the problems to be solved (time spent in the problem space), while Agile prioritizes a fast hypothesize-and-deliver model (time spent in the solution space). Organizations that attempt an Agile transformation abandon it either because it was too difficult or because it did not deliver the hoped-for results. At the same time, efforts to improve the design and experience of their products using Human-Centered Design have a tendency to fall short because it can be difficult to see the ROI of design efforts, even while companies like McKinsey document design-driven successes. What's more, a company that successfully adopts Agile ofteTrade ReviewHuman-Centered Agile is a holistic approach to integrating Agile and Human-Centered Design (HCD) that facilitates vital enterprise-agility, the focus of my work for the past decade. Agile and HCD both operate concurrently and interactively, energizing and focusing on the product delivery lifecycle, which is the determinant of future organizational success. Conceptually, Human-Centered Agile is simply teams doing both things at the same time, unleashing amazing results consistently.Human-Centered Agile (HCA) is a must have competitive necessity for delivering a powerful organizational impact. It is a new way of working and thinking that creates a successful competitive response to an ever more insane marketplace, making mastery of product and delivery an existential determinant. Thus, HCA should not be treated as an HCD "bolt-on" accessory for the Agile process.The existential reality of today’s marketplace competition means only organizations that quickly deliver the "correct" solution will survive, much less thrive. That requires building "something" and obtaining user feedback, which Agile methods provide. The genius of Human-Centered Agile is that it provides a toolkit to improve that "something" from the very first iteration! Human-Centered Agile simultaneously and continuously accelerates the integration of learning into product development, thereby delivering better products faster and, ultimately, unleashing enterprise-wide agility… and the ability to thrive!-- John G.
