Agility characterizes practices, such as Scrum, that help a software team or organization deal with change. However, what may help a software developer to be agile may not help a user experience (UX) consultant to be agile in the same way and vice versa. Against this backdrop, we present a case study of how particular practices of integrating UX activities with agile development contribute to agility in a Danish software company. We use a theoretical framework that defines agility to analyze interviews conducted with UX professionals, developers, and managers in the company. The analysis shows how integrations of UX into agile development by upfront-design and work-inparallel increase the agility differently for developers and UX consultants.
