Agile and User Experience Design Bookmarks

Agile and User Experience are like two opposite corners of a room. They will never meet. On one hand we have Agile which proposes building the system feature by feature. On the other we have User Experience which thrives on holistic approach to product development to bring in seamless experience for the user. It is difficult to marry them together and the industry is still experimenting to get the best of both.
