Managing the Agile Process of Human-Centred Design and Software Development

The paper provides and discusses a life cycle model for agile software development methods like SCRUM. The process model integrates the idea of HumanCentred Design (HCD) into the agile approach. Based on the discussion of existing life cycle models and known process patterns a process model is discussed that combines the advantages of HCD and SCRUM. The SCRUM process model was used in the discussion to be as concrete as possible. However, the suggested approach is applicable to other agile process models as well.
