Abstract<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Most software businesses today use the Agile development process to create their products. This process is engineering-centered and often disregards user research and design in favor of development speed and flexibility. In this thesis a bridging model will be proposed as a means to integrate and optimize the benefits of both Agile development and human-centered design (HCD) principles. Methods for integrating user research and design into the software development process are laid out. Requirements of the bridging model will be elaborated and evaluated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Software development lacks human-centered design thinking when defining features to build. How can Agile development processes be improved by thoughtfully integrating established HCD principles and practices, thereby increasing validated, customer-focused value, desirability and market success of offerings?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
