There is an inherent tension between both schools of thought, and this tension is a core reason why researchers, seeing the value of both arguments, have been investigating how to integrate both approaches. UCD addresses this issue but does not consider Agile principles. On the other hand, User-Centered Design (UCD) aims at ensuring appropriate usability of the implemented software, a characteristic that has not been sufficiently considered either in traditional plan-driven approaches nor in agile approaches. On the one hand, Agile aims to satisfy customers through timely releases and responsiveness to change requests without compromising software quality. KeywordsĪgile User-Centered Design (AUCD) evolved from different motivations. Our paper provides an overview of the artifacts used for communication in Agile User-Centered Design and highlights how artifact-facilitated communication ensues in the industry through a perspective from practitioners. The data analysis and interpretation pointed out two major themes: artifacts facilitate communication and artifacts support collaboration. Drawing upon a netnography of a globally-distributed online community, we carried out community observation, data collection, and data analysis. Advocating the use of artifacts as enablers in this scenario, this paper aims to explore and understand the artifacts which can facilitate the communication between developers and designers in an Agile User-Centered Design approach. One of the main challenges faced while establishing the integration of Agile and User-Centered Design is how to facilitate communication among the invariably distinct involved practitioners.
