What is Lean UX?
Lean UX is an approach to user experience design that integrates Lean principles, focusing on rapid experimentation, user feedback, and collaboration to create products that address real user needs with minimal waste. It emphasizes working closely with users to validate ideas quickly and iteratively.
Key Aspects of Lean UX:
- Rapid Prototyping: Creating quick and low-fidelity prototypes to test concepts.
- User Feedback: Gathering insights from users early and often to guide design decisions.
- Collaborative Design: Working cross-functionally with team members to iterate and refine solutions.
For example, a team might use Lean UX to develop a new app feature by building a basic prototype, testing it with users, and then refining the design based on feedback. This approach helps ensure that the final product is user-centered and meets the target audience’s needs effectively.
