Track: REQUIREMENTS: WHAT DO CUSTOMERS NEED? / Time: Tuesday 10:15 - 11:15 / Location: Rytmisk Sal, Musikhuset

Too often, software projects fail because the development team never really understood what the customer wanted or became mired in a technological quagmire that crippled the final product.

Agile Envisioning couples user-centered design with technology exploration to ensure that the right product is built with the right technology.  It is a fast, iterative, front-end activity that allows the design team to establish a clear product vision and roadmap before major development begins.

By the end of this session, you will have an understanding of:
•    where envisioning fits in the overall Agile process,
•    the purpose and value of envisioning,
•    the kinds of skills and attributes that are needed on the envisioning team,
•    the various activities that are performed by the team,
•    the various questions that need to be asked upfront ,
•    the various artifacts that are produced during envisioning.
