  • UX and Agile: a Bollywood Blockbuster Masala

    UX and Agile: a Bollywood Blockbuster Masala

    UX and Agile: A Bollywood blockbuster masala Pradeep Joseph UXD Manager Juniper Networks Bangalore What is Bollywood? Wikipedia says: The name "Bollywood" is derived from Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. However, unlike Hollywood, Bollywood does not exist as a physical place. Bollywood films are mostly musicals, and are expected to contain catchy music in the form of song-and-dance numbers woven into the script. Indian audiences expect full value for their money. Songs and dances, love triangles, comedy and dare-devil thrills are all mixed up in a three-hour- long extravaganza with an intermission. Such movies are called masala films, after the Hindi word for a spice mixture. Like masalas, these movies are a mixture of many things such as action, comedy, romance and so on. Melodrama and romance are common ingredients to Bollywood films. They frequently employ formulaic ingredients such as star-crossed lovers and angry parents, love triangles, family ties, sacrifice, corrupt politicians, kidnappers, conniving villains, courtesans with hearts of gold, long-lost relatives and siblings separated by fate, dramatic reversals of fortune, and convenient coincidences. What has UX and Agile got to do with Bollywood? As a Designer I faced tremendous challenges while moving into an Agile environment. While drowning the sorrows with designers from other organizations I came to realize that they too face similar challenges. This inspired me to explore further into what makes designers sad, what makes them suck and what are the ways in which they can contribute more in an Agile environment.

A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY from THE UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG by KEITH THOMAS JOHNS (M.Litt.,B.A.Hons.,Grad.Dip.Ed., F.L.C.M., F.T.C.L., L.T.C.L. ) SCHOOL OF CREATIVE ARTS 1986 i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the central concern in an analysis of the symphonic poems of Franz Liszt, that is, the relationship between programme,harmony and form. In order to make a thorough and clear analysis of this relationship a structural/semiotic analysis has been developed as the analysis of best fit. Historically it has been fashionable to see Liszt's symphonic poems in terms of sonata form or a form only making sense in terms of the attached programme. Both of these ideas are critically examined in this analysis.

Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School © Copyright by Nathan MacAvoy, 2020 All Rights Reserved. ii DEDICATION This treatise is dedicated to my wife Martha. She consistently challenges me to do my best, innovate, and plan. Her support throughout my graduate degrees has been invaluable. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee for their investment in my education as a scholar, teacher, and musician. Dr. Jenkins’ classes challenged me not only to excel in music theory but also to use that knowledge for the benefit of others. Dr. Price served as my degree advisor and helped me improve my writing for many proposals. Weekly lessons with Dr. Fugo are already missed, but how I listen to, practice, and perform music has been transformed. I did not enjoy research until Dr. Ernst’s advanced research class. It prepared me to both finish and enjoy writing this treatise. I could not have begun this program without my previous instructors and mentors. Dr. Moore and Dr. Boerckel taught me throughout high school and my undergraduate degree. Their consistent investment prompted me to continue with a musical career.
