Agile UX book in the works by Anders Ramsey
Jeff and Anders both share a background at the company Thoughtworks but also have different backgrounds. Mr. Ramsey has a UX design background while Mr. Patton’s origins seem to mainly in Agile.
It will be interesting how the books will compete with each other. Or better how they will complement each other!
On the book site Anders explains his reasons for writing the book:
Another equally important reason why I am writing this book is to strip away some of the myths and misconceptions about Agile, such as the idea that its all about Sprints and Scrums and Burndowns. Those are all valuable and important practices, but Agile is much larger than any one of them. In fact, perhaps the most important goal of this book is to convey the deeper thinking, the Agile Mindset, on which those practices are founded. Armed with that Mindset, my hope is that many in the user experience field will find ways to not just join Agile teams, but to also transform and empower traditional teams from within.
I sure hope that he will succeed!
