I have been interested in agile process for a while, especial it’s use with UX techniques.
The other day I ran into a myth that there aren’t many User Experience Design people with skills that can work on agile teams.
It seems UX people aren’t very flexible.
This I find almost laughable, in fact most UX professionals I have found are extremely flexible, often changing tack or techniques as required, at a moments notice. Maybe we are too flexible.
The core of any agile process really is to have a role less team that can specialists with generalised skills.

How many times have you heard this: “Well the site / design / label / content has been done like this on this site, so it must be right, we’ll just copy that!”
We have all encountered it right? The premise that because someone has done it before us that is must be the correct path to take. This assumes a number of predetermine aspects:
- The site in question has the exact same budget, market and audience.
- There has been an extensive use of industry best practice and the application of user centred design principles on the site.
