2. why lean UX ?

3. new distribution channels

4. continuous innovations based on market feedback

5. one IDEA many MINDS

6. continuous design experiments

7. what is lean UX?

8. Inspired by Lean and Agiledevelopment theories, LeanUX is the practice of bringingthe true nature of our work tolight faster, with lessemphasis on deliverables andgreater focus on the actualexperience being designed.

9. Design Agile Lean Thinking Development Startuplean UX foundations

11. An approach for building companies that are creating new product and services in situation of extreme uncertainty. The approach advocates creating of rapid prototypes that test market assumptions and uses customer feedback in an eﬀort to evolve design faster and reduce waste. Eric Rieslean startup

13. lean UX principles

14. cross functional teams

15. Small - Dedicated- Co-located Build shared understanding Focused Communication Less Documentation2 pizza teams

16. measure progress by outcomes NOT output

17. Overproduction - Extra Features Waiting - Delays Defects - Defects Transportation - Handoffs Over processing - Unwanted Inventory - Partially completed Motion - Task Switching Processes Workremove WASTE

18. focus on solving the right problem

19. no upfront detailed design - design what is required

20. Continuous engagement of your customers during design & development processcontinuous discovery

21. Idea Product Features Designevery decision is hypothesis

22. hypothesis examples

23. get out of the building (GOOB)

24. externalize

25. rapid experiments & FAIL fast

26. short cycle time

29. Identify assumptions you have about your customers and create a clear picture of their needs and goals.Think - envision your customer / users

We have The problem the observed that the product/service isn’t meeting [these goals], which is business causing [this adverse effect] to our stakeholders wants business. How might we improve [service/product] so that our customer to addressed are more successful based on [these measurable criteria] ? An explicit request for improvement that doesn’t dictate a speciﬁc solutionThink - problem statement

34. We believe [this statement is true]. We will know we’re [right/wrong] when we see the following feedback from the market : [Qualitative feedback] and /or [quantitative feedback] and/or [key performance indicator change] More granular description of our assumptions that We believe that [doing this/ building target speciﬁc this feature/creating this areas of our experience]for [these people/ personas] will achieve [this outcome] product for We will know this is true when we see [this market feedback, quantitative experimentation measure or qualitative insight] .Think - hypothesis statement

35. Get set to deliver on the value proposition for your product by mapping out the features of the MVP. The emphasis is focusing, and ﬁguring out what not to build at this time.Make - identify MVP

36. “That version of a new product that will allow a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least eﬀort.” -Eric Ries The goal of an MVP is get to a pivot in as short amount of time as possible.MVP

37. Just making one big pain point for users go away can be your entire MVP Painkiller manually rename or move ﬁles This can be a great for products or services that you will want users to Fast Money pay for in some way. If you are providing some type of expert advice, MVP could be Email Newsletter. Manually simulate features that eventually will be accomplished by the system Turk It Dating - Matchmaking Sites with complex algorithm This is a great strategy for a product where a core part is some Go Ugly & Early engineering special sauce, or in which a key product risk is technological connect with parts warehouses all over the globe Rather than try to build the actual product, we instead imagine that the Fake it till you make it product already has been built and create the marketing page for selling itMVP design strategies

40. Make - collaborative design & sketching

41. Validated Learnings / Meaningful Feedback Lean UX recommend live data prototype but you can choose level of MVP Whiteboard Detail Interactive Live Data prototype based on Sketching Wireframes Prototype Prototypes •Who will be interacting with it Whiteboard •What you hope to learn Keynote Axuare XCode •How much time you have Level of Fidelity to create itMake - prototype / deploy
