What is Lean UX

What is Lean UX?

• Insights on its Principles

2
Meaning

• Its a combination of Lean Startup Agile
  Development
• It means the practice of bringing together a
  product to light faster, in a collaborative,
  cross-functional way. 
• As in Scrum practice, we work in the continuous
  feedback loop of iterations via customers
  feedback at the end of every sprint review
  cycle. 
• Ultimately it will helps to build a product
  design organization that is more collaborative,
  more cross-functional, and a better fit for
  todays Agile reality.

Principles of Lean UX 

• Team Organisation
• Cross-functional team
• Small, dedicated collocated 
• Self-sufficient empowered 
• Problem-focused team

• B. Guide Culture
• Moving from doubt to certainty
• Outcomes, not output
• Removing waste
• Shared understanding
• No rock stars, gurus, or ninjas
• Permission to fail

A. Team Organisation1. Cross-functional team

• Its Similar to Agile Methodology
• Its a combination of different roles to create
  your products like developers, managers,
  designers, content writers, marketing, QA, and
  many more, who make up a part of LEAN UX teams.
• Basically, its collaboration continuous
  involvement or communication between each other
  and this goes on from day one of the project
  until the end of the engagement.

5

• Purpose
• To avoid pit holes in the process.
• LEAN UX Agile will help the team to share
  information informally, which creates
  collaboration earlier in the process drives
  higher team efficiency.
• For Example, Projects passes in way like Project
  Manager ? Design Team ? Developer Team ? QA ?
  Final Out Come (Without any feedback iteration
  or market analysis)
• Eventually, project outcomes will differ from
  what a customer or end-user actually needs.

A. Team Organisation 2. Small, dedicated
collocated 

• Small team Maximum 10 members.
• All dedicated to only one project
• Working at same location

7

• Benefits
• Communication 
• Focus - keeps team members focused on the same
  priorities all the time and eliminates
  dependencies on other teams
• Camaraderie
• Help the team track status, changes, and new
  learning
• allows the relationship to grow among team
  members

8
A. Team Organisation 3. Self-sufficient
empowered 

• No external dependencies
• Give all the capabilities or freedom to operate
  to your team
• Give enough tools to create and release
  software/products
• Give openness courage to them to figure out how
  to solve the problems

9

• Result
• Increases efficiency, freedom learning curve
  amplifies
•  Team can interact with customers directly in
  order to get the freedom they need to create
  effective solutions.

10
A. Team Organisation 4. Problem focused team 

• Team has been given a problem related to
  business, rather than a set of features to
  create, which is also one of the core values of
  the Agile manifesto and LEAN UX

11

• Benefits
• We can unleash potential of team for
  problem-solving by giving them actual business
  problems.
• Team will interact with each other and come up
  with better MVP solutions for the product
• Helpful for the team to stay on the same page and
  be aware of the project status and feature

12
B. Guide Culture1. Moving from doubt to certainty

• In Lean UX everything is assumption until we
  prove it
• We gain clarity as we work
• Sometimes assumptions are easy to spot and
  sometimes its very difficult and cost a lot of
  time and efforts on bad assumptions.
• In conclusion, by validating assumptions we can
  make complex software development process a bit
  easy.

13
B. Guide Culture2. Outcomes matters, not output

• Outputs Features Services
• Main goal To achieve outcome
• Outcome Create a meaningful and measurable
  change in customer behavior.
• Lean UX is trying to achieve this outcome and
  measures its progress.

14
B. Guide Culture3. Removing waste

• Main principle of Lean Manufacturing
• It removes anything that does not contribute to
  goal.
• Value creation and waste removal technique can
  help the team to keep their laser focus where it
  belongs.

15
B. Guide Culture4. Shared Understanding

• It builds over time as the team works together
• it reduces the teams dependencies on second-hand
  reports and detailed documents to continue its
  work. 

16
B. Guide Culture5. No Rock starts, Gurus or
Ninjas

• It emphasise on equal contribution in team
• No Stars or star performers
• Lean UX seeks team cohesion and collaboration

17
B. Guide Culture5. Permission to Fail

• Allows new ideas to get the solution.
• And thats ok if it fails
• So team has a healthy environment to experiment
  with their ideas.

18
Conclusion

• It is favourable for any organisation to adopt
  this Lean UX techniques.
• It will give fruitful results and give the best
  solutions for not only the team but the business
  problem as well.
