Integrating UX design with agile methodologies like Scrum can be challenging, as existing frameworks may not always be practical for agile teams.
UX Burner methodology was created to address these challenges, offering a structured approach to seamlessly integrate UX design within agile frameworks.
The methodology emphasizes shared understanding, team decision-making, collaboration, and creativity among product development teams.
UX Burner is versatile, adaptable, and beneficial for various scenarios like problem-solving, product development, and fostering a creative culture within teams.
Key activities in the UX Burner methodology include prioritizing design and development work equally, including a designer as part of the Scrum team, and seeking feedback from clients and users regularly.
When starting a product from scratch, conducting a Burner Canvas workshop with the entire team is recommended to define problem statements and establish success metrics.
Using prioritization matrices inspired by Lean UX, teams can prioritize assumptions based on risk and value to determine which user stories to focus on during sprints.
Design workshops, prototyping, pair and share approach between designers and developers, user testing, and internal demos are integral parts of the UX Burner process.
Implementing UX Levels can help in deciding when to use UX activities in sprints based on the level of uncertainty, ensuring a user-centered approach to product development.
Assigning specific UX Levels to outcomes in the backlog helps teams plan and align UX Burner activities effectively with sprint goals for a seamless integration into the development process.
Regularly reviewing and updating the backlog, along with careful sprint preparation, are best practices to prevent bottlenecks and maintain synchronization between design and development.
