Great UX, Despite Agile: How to Get the Best Out of Your Design Team in Agile Projects
summary
Defines five design maturities (from unconscious to reframing) and argues agile needs a separate discovery track layered over production sprints, not just handoffs. Compares factory vs product sprint models, recommends a four to six weeks sprint‑zero for strategy and a typical team size of six to eight people with one designer per team or pooled UX/service designers. Gives concrete examples (OXO peeler, IKEA, App Store), tools (double‑diamond, burn‑down), and outcomes: business cases, design principles and usable increments.
