  • maintain it through annual (or semi-annual) design vision sprints
  • it's important to designate a gatekeeper to track requirements and communications between the UX team and the other project teams to keep everybody on track (even though those tracks are parallel)
  • 5 more annotations...
  • • Circle D Design used a variation on this, designating an "anchor person" for each project's UX communication. As new UX specialists are needed on a project, they're paired with the anchor. The anchor principle also supports long-term cross-communication among teams as anchor people are periodically rotated.
    • UX people must be co-located with developers and other project team members. Indeed, UX should be considered a part of the project team, not an outside department.
    • matrix structure
    • the professionals in our new study still felt that Iterative Design was marginally better than Agile
    • Developers rated the user experience impact on the deliverable's quality at 4.3, whereas UX people rated it at 4.0 (again on a 1–5 scale, with 5 best). Developers said productivity increased somewhat with UX involvement (3.3), whereas UX rated this only slightly higher at 3.4.
