Agile cannot replace a holistic user experience vision – something that takes into account design strategy and objectives.
At Adaptive Path, we have been experimenting with a technique that we call sketchboards. We get everyone on the team to participate in a process based on rapid, low-fi techniques like sketching and collaging to iterate ideas and move quickly into prototyping.
When combined, sketchboards and prototypes give everyone on the team a strong foundation to build products that provide focused, beneficial, well-designed experiences for the people who use them.
