UX and Lean Start Ups = BFF (Best Friends Forever)
24 May
Watch live video from Startup Lessons Learned on Justin.tv
Did you see Janice Fraser of LUXr (an awesome Lean UX Residency program) panel yesterday at the Startup Lessons Learned conference.
Janice and friends talk about:
- the natural partnership between Lean Startups and User Experience
- how User Experience is far more than ‘pretty pixels’ but follow similar iterative cycles
- how ‘customer development’ and user experience are essentially the same thing
- how UXers have a vast suite of tools to help get you out of the building and engaging customers in building your product
- how designers can help you to ‘get on the right mountain’
- how you should ‘write the test first’ when you’re designing
- how UX, Product and Development should be all the same team
- and loads more
Janice also proposes a series of principles for Lean User Experience including:
- Recognise hypotheses and validate them
- FLOW: think/make/check
- Research with users is the best source of information
- Goal-drive and outcome-focused
- Generate many options and decide quickly which to pursue
Well worth your time.
