User research and agile in the development of computer/video games

[Janus Rau Sorensen]

Hi all,

I work as a user research manager at a computer games developer.  The
production is going more and more in the direction of the
agile-methodology, and I wanted to pose the question, if any of you know
of any relevant literature or had personal experience (and advice) as to
how to implement user research processes (e.g. usability and UX) within an
agile environment - both in general design and development, but especially
related to the development of computer games.

Thank you

(I am new on this list so I'll introduce myself briefly:
I hold an MA in Information Studies and Anthropology, and I work as a user
research manager at a major computer games developer in Copenhagen,
Denmark. I perform user research throughout the entire production cycle as
well as do market research.
Glad to be on this list :)  )
