There are a number of ways the UCD-Agile connection is being made, and I
guess Linda
wanted to hear reports of experience in the various approaches.
I haven't actually seen the one that you describe, and I would like to
hear more details.
For example:
* are the UI designers and programmers within the same team but do
different kinds of tasks,
or do they do both?
* what are the UI stories (or backlog items) like, especially for user
research?
* do the UI stories count as "done", even when no software has been written?
I've love to hear more about what you've seen.
Cheers
