Lean UX (User Experience) is an integral part of the Lean Startup process. But there are misconceptions about what it is and how it is different from "regular" UX.

Getting into UX: How to take your first steps to a career in user experiencePhil Barrett
Want to work in UX but can't get a job without experience? Here are a few ideas about how to break into the UX business, make a portfolio, win at your interview and design assessment - and whether UX is the right career for you. You can start doing UX in the job you already have, then build a portfolio from that.
Laurence McCahill, design lead and co-founder of Spook Studio, spills the beans on the Lean Startup and Lean UX movements, which bring a groundbreaking approach to product development, and what it means for founders, managers and designers/developers.

OVERVIEW
The talk will be primarily focussed on the native (mobile & tablet) apps market, split evenly between net-new products and substantial relaunches, however the philosophies, practices and processes are equally valuable on any interactive project, across any medium, where dealing with clients and external pressures.
The unique pressures placed on new product launches in a market with unprecedented competition, constant new entrants, low discoverability, and speed of replication/ emergence of copy-cats such as the Apps Market has a tendency to make stakeholders and decision makers squirmy in the 10th & 11th hours, persuading them to opt for the shortest road to release, resulting in incomplete, lower quality, or simply half-assed products.
This talk will arm you with the tools to be the advocate for quality, experience, and feature-completeness in the face of pushback from up top – whether that be a client, or your boss
Use Lean Startup Techniques on a Remote Team by William Donnell - The Lean St...Lean Startup Co.
A lot of distributed companies use Lean Startup techniques for product development. But it's challenging to successfully run customer development and cross-functional experiments with remote colleagues. William Donnell, lead design and UX specialist at Sodium Halogen, teaches the creative techniques his team uses for very effective Lean Startup approaches on a virtual team.

This is a slide for a presentation delivered to fellow members of a student club at the university for the purpose of presenting and to an extent discussing the ideas behind what is known as "The Lean Startup mouvement"
The term "Minimal Viable Product" has become so widely used that is seems to have lost its meaning. There is growing confusion whether the MVP is a "pre-launch" version of an online or mobile produce, or an "alpha" or "beta".
Creating the MVP is an excellent way of establishing whether a business idea is likely to fly in the real world. But, all too often I see people getting tanged up in the technicalities of what the MVP should include. And, when that happens, the purpose that the MVP should serve becomes forgotten or lost.
This presentation shows you how a logical process of creating two MVPs in quick succession will help anyone that is creating a web or mobile product to spend less time and money on creating a sustainable business by minimising the risk of "getting it wrong".
The advice applies to anyone, no matter how big or small the budget. And I can wholeheartedly testify that people who have applied this precise process have:
1. Saved hundreds of hours of efforts which would have taken them in the wrong direction,
2. Helped businesses that had built a product but found uptake lacklustre to reposition their offering to attract a much higher rate of customer acquisition and retention.
Enjoy :)

MVP: Minimum Viable Product vs. Maximum Value ProductLiquid Reality
Start-ups and product reboots are all thinking the same thing - how quickly can we get to market? The app market is break-kneck, and being first-to-market, or soon-to-market can be important, but, not at the expense of quality. In this talk we'll explore the motivations for being first, and argue the values of being "better"
From experience, we'll focus on how to convince clients and stakeholders to buy-in to quality over "fast" - as a philosophy, as a differentiator, and as a process to making it happen.
Anyone can make an app - just look at any of the app stores, but only the ones that focus on the customer, on quality, and on the entire experience as a whole will succeed.
This talk will give you a roadmap to create better products, get and keep clients on-board with your direction, and deliver outstanding products to the market.

The Lean Startup (book summary by Expert Program Management)Dennis Antolin
The Lean Startup Summary
Big idea #1: Startups are essentially 'Scientific Experiments'
Big idea #2: The biggest waste is building what nobody wants at all
Big idea #3: Don't argue about effort-prioritization - Use Split-Tests & Cohorts!
Big idea #4: You might be an Entrepreneur and not even know it!
Big idea #5: Use Actionable Metrics and avoid 'Vanity Metrics'
This book is a practical guide or playbook for startups and entrepreneurs to integrate Design Thinking into their psyche to get them on a fast track to deliver solutions that matter as opposed to solutions that customers want. This book ditches the mind-set of make and sell and coaxes leaders to adopt a more agile way of user journey based exploration. At the end, we end up with an approach that is repeatable, scalable, ROI driven and more importantly puts customers at the center.
Uniting product development, business strategy, and agile software practices.
Covers thinking about product development wholistically from a customer-first perspective. Suggests good principles for established companies and boostrappers.
Introduction to Lean UX. Used as an opening statement of principles in the Lean Startup Intensive 2-day workshop, held July 9-10 2011 in NYC. Facilitated by Josh Seiden and Lane Halley. Hosted with the generous support of Pivotal Labs.
The Emperor's New Lean UX: Why I'm not using lean UX, and perhaps why you sho...Everett McKay
Lean UX is all the rage for 2015, as many teams are starting to adapt it. The goal is to make evidence-based design decisions to learn from our customers, and minimize waste in doing so. But one thing we need more evidence on: if using lean UX actually works! In practice, lean UX is often a rationalization for poorly designed MVPs that fail to deliver the promised benefits.
For the first half of this talk, Everett will present the fundamental concepts and techniques of lean UX, and make a case why they may not deliver their promised results. The second half will be a group discussion about your own experience with lean techniques, and whether or not you agree with Everett's concerns.
No business can thrive without the discovery of a great idea. But, then again, an idea needs to undergo proper development to transform into a successful business venture – else your unpolished idea dies a quick death. In this article, we will talk about how one can turn an idea into a business.
UX Workshop introducing what UX is and why it is important. The audience may or may not be familiar with UX so the presentation focuses more on principles than a step-by-step how-to.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

3. Myth #1: !
!
Lean UX = Minimal UX!
The term “Lean” comes from “Lean Startup”. Lean in this
context doesn’t mean least or minimal. Doing Lean UX
doesn’t mean doing the least amount of user experience
work you can get away with.
8. You come up with an idea, you create a minimal product to
test it, and you collect data on the idea.
9. In Lean Startup your 3 main activities are to Build
something to test your hypothesis, then Measure the
success, and then Learn from the experiment and decide
what to do next — what experiment to run next. You
cycle over and over until you know you have a success.
11. Lean Startup Concepts!
Experiments!
MVP!
Pivot!
Uncertainty
Lean Startup is designed to work with uncertainty. If you
aren’t sure what product or service people really want, if
you aren’t sure what will be successful. It works not just
for startups, but any business or organization facing
uncertainty.
13. Myth #2: !
!
Lean UX = UX + Agile!
Agile is a development methodology for programming that
breaks large projects into small manageable chunks. Lots of
people have written about adapting UX to an Agile
environment. However, UX in an Agile environment is
NOT Lean UX.Two different things.
16. There’s an acronym in Lean Startup: GOOTB. It stands for
“Get Out Of The Building”. In Lean Startup doing research
upfront about your customers/users is critical. BUT you do
just enough to answer the experiment at hand.
18. Myth #4: !
!
“Regular” UX is a
waterfall!
There are a few Lean UX books published and they all
describe “regular” (i.e. NOT Lean) UX as being this long
laborious time consuming expensive process. I don’t think
this is necessarily true. I’ve been doing efficient,
collaborative UX for many years.
20. Myth #5: !
!
Lean UX is all new!
Sometimes people writing about Lean UX as though the
UX ideas that are used in a Lean Startup process are
brand new.They aren’t. Lean UX uses the same techniques
and tools that UX people have been using for decades.
21. !
NOT A Myth:!
!
Lean UX puts UX front and center.
It’s the vehicle for implementing
businesses, products, and
services. !
In Lean Startup UX is not just something you do if you
have time. It’s a CRITICAL piece of the whole Lean Startup
process.Without UX you can’t do the Lean Startup
process.
