Agenda
• Lean UX – Basics
• Lean UX - Process & Principles
• Example
• Case Study
• Q&A

Innovation
But..
A company
decides it must
innovate to
survive.
It commissions a
design team
(either in-house or
external)
Customers
interviewed,
observed, analyzed.
Experiments,
surveys, focus
groups, prototypes
and smoke tests
Results a massive
specification
document with
their findings &
recommendations
Engineering
process may be
agile, the
specification
document is rigidly
fixed.
Innovation

What if…
Market conditions
have changed since the
original learning took
place?
Engineers discover that
the specification was
unworkable?
Concepts worked great
in the lab but have no
commercial appeal?

Here comes Lean UX…
A Cross-functional collaboration that brings non designers,
tech team and stakeholders into design process

Core Principles of Lean UX
Finding features
that matter most
to the consumers-
and find them at
the cheapest
possible cost
Moving as quickly
as possible
through the
build-measure-
learn loop
Exposing the
product directly to
users early and
often
Clickable
prototypes,
personations,
screens mockups,
low fidelity
techniques
Continuous
Discovery
Shared
Understanding
Permission to Fail

Lengthy form or
too many steps to
follow
Why am I asked
for Captcha code
and why is it
frustratingly non
readable?
Unable to see the
product info when
I am about to pay
I don’t want to
login but still want
to buy
Security concerns
if my credit card
will be misused
What will happen
if I select and enter
data and
payment
mechanism gets
stuck?
How will I trust the
website or co. as
you are not an
amazon
or eBay?
What if product is
unavailable still I
am paying for it ?
List down areas of concern

John likes to select product which
he likes and instantly pay it and
expects the system to checkout in
just 5 minutes or less. He would also
like to see the product on screen
which he is buying even when he is
paying because this gives him a
satisfaction
He hates to key in too many
personal information, lengthy
forms, just some important info and
should be over. He also hates the
CAPTCHA or something like this
coming up, it really makes him go
against buying the product
Purchasing Habits His Likes His Dislikes
