DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “CHEAP” AND LEAN UX
CHEAP UX
▸ Budget comes first
▸ Jump to tactical fixes in design
▸ Skip on important parts of the UX
process to avoid spending money
▸ Don’t spend money
▸ More likely to think about cutting costs
▸ MINIMAL viable product
▸ Focus on how much money is spent
▸ Play it safe. No failing.
▸ Discovery and learning come first
▸ Invest in strategic changes in design
▸ Think smarter about how to do the UX
faster yet spend money more effectively
▸ Don’t waste money
▸ More likely to think about how to make
more money while delivering great UX
▸ Minimal VIABLE product
▸ Focus on when and how money is spent
▸ Fail faster, learn, ADAPT
