I bookmark a lot of pages and sites which I find interesting, inspirational and informative every day! I’d like to share some of them with you here. In general they are about user experience, usability, UCD, accessbility and design. In general, but not always!!

• Agile and UX Coaching – Anders Ramsay.com
  Once again, Joe Sokohl comes through with key insights, pointing out something that was obvious in my mind but I did not state explicitly in the post – the idea of a UX Coach is analogous to an Agile Coach. Just like the Agile Coach is not part of a team but helps the team undergo the transformation from a traditional to an Agile approach, so too does a UX Coach help Agile teams undergo a similar transformation, from UX being a vaguely mysterious notion to something that is just another normal part of an Agile project lifecycle.
• Interviewing Users (Jakob Nielsen’s Alertbox)
  Despite many weaknesses, interviews are a valuable method for exploratory user research.
• Think Vitamin » The 7 Sins of Managing Web Projects
  Managing web projects is both tough and satisfying in equal measures. Every project is a new learning curve and even though I’m educated from every project I work on, new problems are presented to me on a daily basis.
• quplo: HTML Prototyping | Konigi
  The web-based tool allows you to build multiple prototypes using a combination of standard HTML/CSS. If you can do JS, the standard JS libraries are available to include in your pages (or sheets in Quplo lingo).
• Think Vitamin » Big Wins with Quick Changes
  Once you’ve launched a site, the most important thing to do is be ready and poised to completely change it. Reacting very quickly to real-world feedback can turn unseen problem areas into strengths.
• Can UX Be Agile? :: UXmatters
  Software engineers dealing with ill‑defined problems move repeatedly between examining scenarios, clarifying requirements, defining their solution at a high level, and doing low‑level design for difficult elements.

Please do feel free to suggest other related (and unrelated ones)!
