Paper Abstract:
|
Despite the widespread use of internet-based information systems there are many examples of failure in the development
of such projects. Traditional approaches to software development have been identified as contributing factor to the
statistics with many reports calling for the appropriate use of the recently emerging Agile Methods (AMs). However,
despite their popularity and apparent success problems have been reported in their use. One, that is particularly relevant
to internet development, is that AMs typically ignore consideration of the user experience before development begins
which ultimately results in a less desirable system. AMs advocate little upfront investigation, instead emphasizing
ongoing customer collaboration throughout the life of the project to supply any information required about users. The
suggestion here is that aspects of Interaction Design (ID) can be conducted in an agile manner before an agile project
commences and that this can be linked to that ongoing development. This paper presents such a process, combining ID
and Scrum, the agile project management method. Also, a case study of its use is presented providing encouraging
results. |
