I've tried to "integrate" with agile on numerous occasions and you can't (at least not without ending up with a pile of crud at the end). When it comes to design, keep it all up front. Answer to No.2: Multi-variate testing platforms. Design several, build several, put them out in front of real paying customers. See which one wins. Don't work anywhere that can't do MVT. Answer to No.3: At least one person with UX in their job title needs to be at board level. Answer to No.4. Wrong question. We don't invent the tech, we make it usable. Two very separate things. Musing about "the next thing" distracts you from concentrating on what's here now, today - which, mysteriously, is always crap. I *wonder* why...? Answer to No.1: Don't.

Answer to No.3: At least one person with UX in their job title needs to be at board level.

Answer to No.4. Wrong question. We don't invent the tech, we make it usable. Two very separate things. Musing about "the next thing" distracts you from concentrating on what's here now, today – which, mysteriously, is always crap. I *wonder* why…?
