Product Description
User experience (UX) web design has traditionally been a deliverables-based practice, defined by wireframes, site maps, flow diagrams, content inventories, taxonomies, and mockups. But that tradition is not the best way to serve the user. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn that UX is about the experience, not the deliverables, and that as a UX designer you need to focus on the user and not the documentation. By applying a set of lean design practices and principles, you’ll learn how to keep the user’s needs first and foremost. Refined through the real-world experiences of dozens of startup companies, these techniques are part of Eric Ries’ Lean Startup methodology. - Get a tactical understanding of how Lean and UX/Design can integrate successfully
- Understand why this integration has failed in the past, and learn how to avoid the pitfalls
- Break down the silos created by job titles and learn to trust your teammates despite their different skillsets/offerings
- Improve the quality and productivity of your teams, and focus on experiences as opposed to deliverables/documents

Jeff Gothelf on How to Do Lean UX in 5 Easy Steps - Solve problems together: Ensure that every member of your team is present during brainstorming for new projects. Give your teams problems to solve, not solutions to implement. The outcome will be a far more efficient and productive team creating higher quality products and experiences.
- Sketch: Introduce the team to sketching in order to help them visualize their ideas and come to a consensus.
- Prototype: Get to a product experience as quickly as possible. Use prototypes of varying fidelities to get a sense of what your product's experience will be and validate that with customers to ensure you're headed down the right path.
- Pair your developers and designers: Have developers and designers pair up to create the user interfaces. Each will learn from the other and build the trust necessary for greater team collaboration and productivity.
- Create a style guide: Codify your design elements in pattern libraries and code repositories so creating new pages and workflows in your product is as easy as picking the pieces from the style guide. It also allows the team to quickly piece together experiences for prototypes and empowers your developers to build interfaces without constant review with the UX designer.
