Bringing Agile Development to government
I worked with the U.S. General Services Administration and the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services to provide UX research and design in support of their project to upgrade the Customer Information System (CIS) using an Agile Development framework.
As lead UX Designer, my first task was to find a way to get UX out in front of development in the Agile framework. We needed to populate the backlog with actionable user stories in Sprint 0, so developers could hit the ground running in Sprint 1.
