Agile and User Experience Design
summary
Presents results from a national research project for Microsoft that interviews teams across the US and distills 4 archetypes (Architect, Inventor, Designer/Developer hybrid, Creative Coder), shows Photoshop comps and static wireframes fail, and recommends prototypes in Keynote, quick interactive storyboards and lightweight physical mockups (tape + rocks, marker-as-tool). Describes building a real site and iPhone app that launch quickly but fail without user research, and shows iterative, co‑located design+dev cycles that actually work.
