Much of what holds us back is outdated thinking about what both UX and Agile are. We're stuck in 2001 when Agile was first conceived, and today's UX practices were in their infancy. We've learned so much in the last two decades. We know how to do better.

Agile and UX can work together. To do that, we need to reframe some misconceptions about how we put them together. We need to replace old, dysfunctional habits with state-of-the-art techniques and processes. That's what we'll talk about in this presentation.
