SCRUM poses key challenges for usability. First, product goals are set without an adequate study of the user’s needs and context. The user stories selected may not be good enough from the usability perspective. Second, user stories of usability import may not be prioritized high enough. Third, given the fact that a product owner thinks in terms of the minimal marketable set of features in a just-in-time process, it is difficult for the development team to get a holistic view of the desired product or features.

Improv theatre is acting without preparation and without a net; given a situation, improv challenges you to participate in a new reality on the spot. As such, it’s a powerful means of learning, and exploring, stimulating creativity, engaging in rapid decision-making, and building empathy-all skills that come into play in agile development projects. In this session, we’ll scratch the surface of improvisational theatre through a series of simple exercises and games. Session attendees are strongly encouraged to participate or simply to observe as their comfort level permits
