Learn the Agile Manifesto’s values, combine Design Thinking and Lean UX with Agile, and bring UX design into Scrum teams in a short video course.
Agile can be practiced as a set of routines or held as a mindset, and the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto mark the difference between the two. That gap between doing and being Agile is the starting point. Next come Design Thinking, Lean UX and Agile working together, so a team builds the right things the right way. The last part takes on fitting user experience design into Scrum while keeping team communication open.

Good for: Product and Scrum team members who want Agile values, Design Thinking and Lean UX to work together, and UX designers joining a Scrum team.

Bottom line: Its particular angle is joining Agile values with Design Thinking, Lean UX and a clear look at the UX designer’s place in a Scrum team.
