2. The goal of a lean design
process is to cut any
element in the
product
development
cycle that is not strictly
necessary.
What is the point of a Lean UX approach? 5
Wireframing
Visual design and style guide
User research
Interaction design
Prototyping
Information architecture
3. Design no get Superman 6
Design should not be a solo exercise. Being a design team of one is no excuse
The usability analyst or UX

owns customer
development and persona
creation
Researcher
The UX or visual designer
or person who owns the
design and can facilitate
the design
Designer
Interprets the design into
code
Developer
Involve members from other teams—business analysts to gather and write requirements,
developers to shed light on the technical realities, researchers and business owners.
4. SOLVING USER PROBLEMS OVER DESIGNING THE NEXT COOL FEATURE
“What problem are we trying to solve?” Ideally, you should clearly understand the customer’s problem.
7
Design is problem-solving,
so if you don’t know the
problem, you can’t design a
solution. Users will help you
identify the major pain-
points to tackle
5. it is much more effective to find out there is little financial gain in a feature you have not yet designed than spend weeks
or months on fruitless labor.
Early customer validation is the cornerstone of lean design 8
Usability testing is the industry standard, but other research methods should be used
as well. If your company collects user feedback, this is a good source of insight.
Additionally, communicating with sales and customer service reps can provide you
with a wealth of valuable information about where customers struggle and what they
want to buy.

Sales representatives. Are focused on the customer. They will understand what
customer problems are out there to be solved. They’ll also know which features

Lean UX activity 11
The average ATM machine requires users to click through
at least 5 screens where their information is collected

Reduce the time spent at the ATM
GOAL
We will design a UX that enable users to perform all
required actions in 2-3 steps
Reduce the process to 2 steps
