Software design and development has evolved significantly since the
era of waterfall cycles. The agile movement gained momentum and is now one
of the most popular ways of creating and delivery software. We argue that
agile methods can be particularly effective when designing and developing
interactive installations, as long as the agile methods are correctly tailored to
this application domain. Based on significant experience, which was built upon
ethnographic observation and participation in about a dozen industrial projects
related to interactive installations’ design and development, we present agile
strategies which proved effective when dealing with the industry’s typical tight
production schedules, and we also provide the data from two case studies,
discussions and conclusions. Using real world case studies such as these,
researchers can obtain more insight into best practices that could be useful for
promoting innovation during the agile process.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
