Abstract :
In just a few days spent traveling to busy Obama campaign offices we learned enough from observing and interviewing users to propose substantial improvements and additions to the software that helps run campaign field operations. In this paper, we describe what we did and outline some techniques that your Agile team may wish to consider for your projects.
