What’s new about LeanUX?PRESENTED IN LONDON, JULY 2011 INFO@LUXR.CO

Lean User Experience is a principle- driven process for teams working in situations of extreme uncertainty. It is characterized by rituals that predispose predictable, high-quality, high-velocity user experience outcomes.PRESENTED IN LONDON, JULY 2011 INFO@LUXR.CO

9 PRINCIPLES OF LEAN UX 1. Design + Prod. Mg. + development = 1 product team 2. Externalize! 3. Goal-Driven and Outcome-Focused 4. Repeatable and routinized 5. FLOW: think/make/check 6. Focus on solving the right problem. 7. Generate many options and decide quickly which to pursue. 8. Recognize hypotheses & validate them. 9. Research with users is the best source of information (& inspiration).PRESENTED IN LONDON, JULY 2011 INFO@LUXR.CO

RITUALS OF LEAN UX 1. Write the test ﬁrst 2. User quote/need as sprint name 3. Wireframe check 4. Designer/developer pairing 5. UX & Product Mgt participate in standup meetings daily 6. Validation step 7. Retrospective periodicallyPRESENTED IN LONDON, JULY 2011 INFO@LUXR.CO

In Practice: Write the test ﬁrst We believe that people like ______________ have a (customer type) need for (or problems doing) ________________. (need/action/behavior) We will know we have succeeded when ____________________, or ___________________, which (quantitative/measurable outcome) (qualitative/observable outcome) will contribute to ________________. (KPI)PRESENTED IN LONDON, JULY 2011 INFO@LUXR.CO

In Practice: Wireframe Check A stand-up style meeting between designer and developer to resolve problems with a wireframe before development begins. • Is this an accurate reﬂection of the system ? • What here is hard? • What alternatives are there? • Is it worth the effort? Well, that What here is thing will take hard? some workPRESENTED IN LONDON, JULY 2011 INFO@LUXR.CO
