Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive overview of how Agile and User-Centred Design (UCD) methodologies are integrated within software engineering research. By methodically analysing fifty research papers. We investigated the use of various Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques and research methods. Our review reveals a diverse application of techniques such as "Hybrid" and "Collaborative Design," highlighting their practical implementations, predominantly illustrated through case studies. The research output is grouped into categories including Experience, Solution, Evaluation, and Validation papers, reflecting an active community eager to share insights and innovate continuously. Key findings indicate that the synergy of Agile and UCD methodologies significantly boosts user engagement and satisfaction, enhances usability, and refines development processes. These benefits demonstrate the crucial impact of these methodologies on enhancing the efficiency of development practices and improving the quality of software products. The insights from this study highlight existing approaches and inform future research directions, emphasizing the importance of evolving Agile and UCD methodologies to meet changing user needs and software development trends
