Hi Rich,

No direct experience, but the latest Contextual Design Book - Rapid
Contextual Design - includes a chapter on integrating CD with other
methodologies such as RUP or XP. In particular they talk about Rapid CD
providing material for use cases/user stories. There's a case study on
their website < http://www.incent.com/cases/landesk.html > about how
LANDesk incorporated Contextual Design into their Agile process. Might
be worth a look.

Cheers,

Nick.
