Is UX the new design?

Nowadays there  are many ways  to create a new project, a new program, or even a new add-on, but we  live in a society  that lives in the time  where changes are needed  so soon that  sometimes design  is  not done  when it is supposed to, or a methodology is not followed, because we are focused on the project and not  the  way we develop the project. 

These ideas were affected by the way technology, clients and users change their ideas and necessities.  We have been developing new ways to satisfy them, but in the process, we have been forgetting the steps that we need to follow to correctly create a new thing. Sometimes we try to develop the necessities that we think that the client has to have,  but we are not truthly sure about it.  

An example of what has been told is the point where we start using Extreme Programming to develop a project. When we use this methodology, we tend to forget the process of software development, and just try to make better what we just create.  This might be a problem due to the fact that people change their ideas of the project, and there is not a development of a plan and documments needed to rely on.  

Another problem that might  happen in the decision of  making or not a  development of the  design   relies on the fact that  there  might be just a moment where the team and  the customer might  get together and  the lack of design  could make that we  develop  the project in  the wrong path, double what we  have been working on and even  not satisfy the  client necessities.  

I consider that all elements of software development are important and needed to follow not just because there is a process that we need, or because we need to satisfy our company's processes but because what we are creating is not tangible. What I am referring to is  that we  should  consider  that we might not continue working on that project, of someone  will  take care of  it, or even  this is part of  something bigger and  we, as a team, need to understand it, and  not thinking about it like spaghetti code, or  like something  that I will be taking care of. We need to think in the design of a path to follow and to take care of what we are creating.
