UX and Agile are not natural enemies. Let’s stop treating them that way.
The biggest irony of the shift to Agile is that it’s exactly what the UX world has been seeking for years. Yet, now that it’s here, it seems we’re wholly unprepared for it. The tables have turned and developers are ready to iterate quickly. However, our standard UX toolbox feels inadequate for the task.
Our challenge is to become effective contributors in this Agile world. We need to start adapting to it.
We have to cut our designs into sprint-sized chunks while ensuring that it feels like a coherent, well-thought-out design when we put the pieces together.. Unfortunately, conventional thinking about Agile doesn’t help us with this.
Agile was not conceived with UX in mind — we’re on our own to make this work. Now is the time to tame the chaos and take control of Agile UX.
UX and Agile are not natural enemies.
Let’s stop treating them that way.
Get your Agile teams off of the code-delivery treadmill.

At the end of this Intensive, you’ll take control of your Agile UX process. You’ll see how:
This is what happens when you take control of Agile UX. This is how you tame the chaos and deliver better results.

The UX Learner package is Free to all members of Leaders of Awesomeness (also free to join).
Ready to Take Control of Agile UX in your organization? We’ve got two perfectly-priced packages for you.
These two programs contain brand-new expertise for advanced UX leaders in larger organizations, to give them the skills and confidence to change. If you’re ready to demonstrate how great UX practices can push an organization to the next level, the UX Leader VIP Packages are for you.

If you’re coming to the intensive on your own, sign up for the Individual package. You’ll get all the tools and techniques necessary to bring Agile UX to your organization, including how to:
Want to bring your team? Get the entire team access for one price - $147. (When you sign up, we’ll give you an invitation link for you to give to any members of your team.)
The UX Leader VIP Packages have full access to every daily Intensive session as the UX Learner Package. They also include these additional VIP sessions:
NEW! VIP Train-the-Trainer Sessions
Taking Control of Agile UX is within reach — with the right help. We’ve created 3 special sessions to give you what you need to sell, empower, facilitate, and implement your Agile UX transformation.
All Train-the-Trainer sessions are at 11am ET (15.00 GMT) with Jared Spool. We’ll record each session for those who can’t attend.
Great leaders start with a plan. As a VIP, you’ll get an Agile UX transformation planning document that will get you started. Allocate time to work with your team to discuss and fill out the document. An hour each day should be enough.
We’ll discuss your plans in each Train-the-Trainer session. We’ll talk about any challenges you encountered and your strategic options for establishing your organization’s Agile UX transformation.
Work as a team to get the most value from the Intensive. Bring your management into the discussions. You won’t regret it. Folks tell us these are the week’s most valuable sessions.
We’ll host a special Q&A with industry expert Chris Risdon to guide you on succeeding at your Agile UX transformation. (We’re still confirming the details, but we can tell you, you don’t want to miss this!) Only subscribers to the UX Leader VIP Packages will have access to the session and its recording.
(We’ll get you the details as soon as our guest expert confirms the session. So stay tuned for the announcement!)

We’re excited to provide this extended time for our VIP package subscribers.
Users and customers will delight at the superpowers you’ll deliver into their hands.
Everything you learn in this 5-day Intensive comes directly from Jared’s years of working across industries, discovering the best practices for organizations to deliver well-designed products and services.
His experience, working with design leaders of organizations like IBM, NASA, GE, Fidelity Investments, GM, Exxon Mobil, and the Obama White House, has taught him exactly what teams need to mount strategic, influential UX research initiatives.
You’ll love his stories, his ability to demonstrate every point with a simple, concrete example, and his comically adorable attempts at trying to draw out his ideas. (You can’t fault him for trying, though.)
Most importantly, you’ll love how much smarter you’ll feel after spending a few minutes absorbing his experience-informed wisdom. Don’t pass up this opportunity to glean everything you can from Jared.
