Dispassionate observers

Dysfunctional teams

Lean is rising

“Lean UX is the practice of bringing the

true nature of a product to light

faster, in a collaborative, cross

functional way.”

“Continuous engagement allows you to

strip away heavy deliverables in

favor of techniques that allow us to build

shared understanding with our

teammates”

Attend UX Scotlandand Jeff’s talks

Don’t try to do it all at once

Defining outcomes can be difficult

Cumulative learning

Involve everybody on the team.

Really.

Get stuff up on the wall

You won’t always get it right first time. You need to iterate

It’s tough for people to give up their roles

Choose the cadence that suits you and your team

No more BDUF……doesn’t mean no vision
