Agile methods of software development have existed for many years, and are based on much older concepts. This kind of methods achieved its greatest success in small- to mid-sized, commercial applications. In recent years, Agile methods matured and the users became skilled in applying this methodology. It is capable to provide both tactical and strategic benefits. The tactical benefits of lower cost within schedule and increasing quality are important; however, the strategic benefits of being responsive and being able to adjust to the needs of the users more rapidly might be of even greater value. This could be a huge factor in today's world, where the companies need to get results faster. Given this backdrop, the question is: Can Agile methods produce a better software product in terms of usability? (fragment of text)

W artykule zaprezentowano zasady projektowania wymagane podczas tworzenia oprogramowania najbardziej użytecznego dla odbiorcy końcowego. Skonfrontowano te zasady z praktykami Agile. Zdaniem Autora postępowanie zgodne z obiema podanymi listami wytycznych podczas modelowania, projektowania, kodowania i testowania oprogramowania, powinno prowadzić do tworzenia systemów możliwie najbardziej użytecznych dla odbiorców końcowych.
