Overview
The better the UX research your Agile teams have, the more agile those teams will be. Your teams will know how to make intelligent decisions upfront without your later usability tests telling them they got those decisions wrong.
Problems happen when you try to timebox your UX research. Squeezing down your research into two-week chunks doesn’t make it better. Instead, it makes it substantially worse.
Your best Agile UX research approach will require you to plan and execute your research outside any Agile framework, whether using Scrum, SAFe, or something like XP. Instead, you need a continuous research capability that looks beyond what developers are working on into the best experience your users and customers deserve.
