tutorials about the process.

would be nice to have list of speakers that are wiling to speak for

See the recent thread by Dave on this talk by Cooper:
http://www.cooper.com/journal/2010/01/an_insurgency_of_quality.html
Cooper specifically advocates that a "senior interaction designer"
take on the role of product owner. And also the role of pig, not
chicken--Cooper's summary of that metaphor
Quite the loaded question.
A role within a Scrum project is difficult to prescribe without fully
understanding the product your trying to produce.
First of all, it's important to recognize the product owner. This

Hi all!
Usually when I designing a web site I always show the full hierarchical
structure when someone drilling it self down to a sub page, pretty much like
the Windows Explorer tree navigation. Like this for example when a surfer
visits the page "Subservice item 1":

UX in Agile Scrum works best when Product Owners can use that bundle
of skills to help craft backlog --- and then have that same bundle of
skills get deployed on teams during sprints. If you have a good

the method), and you are luck

Hi everyone,
thanks for the comments so far.
We had a discussion around it yesterday and our conclusion was that
UX should be a specific role and not just summarized to categories
that actually don't fit.
I am curious to learn what your think about that approach.

I found that talking to existing clients is very helpful to
understanding the product. I never needed to give an incentive - most
clients, though busy people, are excited that someone consults with
