Along the increasing understanding of the importance of good User eXperience came the need to integrate these two areas. However, Agile development have a distinct culture that at first glance seems to conflict with User-Centered Design. Therefore, integrating these two areas becomes a challenging task. This thesis focuses on integrating these areas, providing a set of practices and artifacts to support Agile teams and Interaction Designers to overcome this challenge. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted in order to identify existing approaches regarding the integration of Agile and Interaction Design. A framework was proposed gathering the most common practices and artifacts identified in this review. Conducting Action Research in two companies from two different countries tried out this proposal. Thus, the result of this research is a framework proposal for integrating Interaction Design and Agile Development.", publisher = {Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Computação}, note = {Faculdade de Informáca} }
