When* the business community
                   begins to measure the value of
                 user experience, they will invest in
                 it as a driver of value, rather than
                       a cost to be minimized.

The Manifesto for Agile Software Development

    We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and
    helping others do it.

    Through this work we have come to value:

    
         
        Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
    
         
        Working software over comprehensive documentation
    
         
        Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
    
         
        Responding to change over following a plan

    That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items
    on the left more.

Agile values


    • Transparency                            • Simplicity

    • Adaptability

Agile characteristics

    • Cross-functional teams
    • Open, collaborative environments
    • Break down work to small, digestible chunks
    • Conversation replaces detailed documentation

    • Focus on “customer value,”
      “business value”
    • Rapid, incremental delivery

Product Owner is an overloaded role




    • Represent business needs                      • Collaborate with the team
           – hold product vision                      –   maintain product backlog
           – feature definition and prioritization     –   detail / clarify requirements
           – communicate project status               –   provide subject matter expertise
    • Ensure project success                          –   be voice of the user
           – negotiate release dates and contents     –   participate in daily meetings
           – manage profitability / ROI                –   review work results

Strategic and tactical UX are under-represented




    •    Product vision and framework under-developed
    •    User research and feedback not well done or understood
    •    Good interaction design practices lacking
    •    Design professionals spread too thin

Problems we can address by integrating design

Too up-front              Too late
• Too many assumptions    • Not cohesive
• Can’t address changes   • Never enough time
• Time-intensive          • Lipstick on a pig
  documentation
We begin by integrating design into the team

The Integrated Team includes
full-time design members working
with and alongside developers.

• Research and analysis of customer
  and user behaviors, needs, and
  goals
• Contextual design that balances
  business needs, user goals,
  technical opportunity

Lean User Experience
         Fundamentals




LEAN UX INTENSIVE, DESIGNER EDITION 01/2011   JANICE@LUXR.CO   TIM@COOPER.COM
Lean User Experience is a cross-
                              functional, principle-driven process
                              characterized by rituals that predispose
                              teams to predictable, high-quality, high-
                              velocity user experience outcomes.

What are the principles?
         1. Design + product management + development = 1 product team

         2. Externalize

         3. Research with users is the best source of information

         4. Focus on solving the right problem

         5. Generate many options and decide quickly which to pursue

         6. Recognize hypotheses & validate them

         7. Rapid cycles: think/make/check

Activity questions

                  • How did you know your hypothesis was
                           right? (what qualifies as validation?)

                  • Are stakeholders and SME’s validation?
                  • Invalidated vs unvalidated?
                  • What are some approaches you might take
                           to shorten the cycle between hypothesis
                           and validation?

Activity observations
                      What is a hypothesis?

                      it’s not “facts” but is “good information”

                      raw observation to FORM hypotheses

                      it’s not build-measure-learn, it’s learn-build-measure

                      getting out of the building doesn’t have to stop once development begins

                      As an agency, when you validate with client stakeholders you satisfy THEM (and get paid)

                      If you validate with end users you may NOT satisfy your client, and they’re paying you…

                      THIS CLIENT DYNAMIC MUST FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE TO BE SUSTAINABLE

                      validate your product to your customer (scoping the consulting relationship)

                      validate THEIR product to THEIR customer

PROPOSAL
Web portal for freelance traveling nurses and
their recruiters

           An exercise in Lean UX
           approaches to project planning
Project environment

    Many nurses at most hospitals are freelancers on 13 week contracts
    who travel from job to job in search of personal adventure, good
    pay, and professional opportunity.


    Our company has relationships with hospitals to post jobs and
    relationships with nurses to fill them.


    We plan to replace our mix of thick client apps and web forms with
    a fully-web based system that gives our nurses better ways to guide
    their experience and our recruiters better tools to manage their
    relationships.


LEAN UX INTENSIVE, DESIGNER EDITION 01/2011                JANICE@LUXR.CO   TIM@COOPER.COM
Project objectives

    Help nurses:                              Help recruiters:
    • search for jobs                         • match nurses to jobs
    • apply for jobs                          • fill high-value jobs
    • work with their recruiters to           • work with nurses to land jobs
      land jobs                               • manage their stable of nurses
    • find temporary housing at
      job location
    • connect with other traveling
      nurses
    • access HR and career
      management information
