Lack of “product/market fit” is one of the key reasons for start-up failures. • One way to escape this is to get everyone involved and get back to experience-based design. • To achieve excellent UX, start-ups should adopt a methodology that gives the flexibility to build brilliant experiences. • This allows design to be far more successful, conductive, efficient and functional. • This is where “Lean” UX design comes in. It is an evolution of both design and team collaboration.
Let’s understand this with two examples: “App.net” and “Google Wave”. App.net Google Wave Developers made huge promises, announcing Wave as the model for real-time, online collaboration and much more, but it lived in the market for a mere 15 months. Traditional design has no strings to keep everything in control. • Launched five years ago as a competitor to Twitter, App.net failed to gain the attention of developers and users. • The company skipped working on the “customer experience.” They failed to get out and validate their product.
So, What is Lean UX? • Lean UX is not a process; it is a set of principles and a proven approach for a lean startup. • Applying lean principles in a design context means:
4 Key Stages in Lean UX Design • 1. Create Quick Personas of your customers: The process is to just add enough details to help in understanding users’ mindset, desires and goals. • Once the design team workers have defined the end user’s persona , it becomes easier to understand the outlook of the user. • This helps in any decision concerning product design, features, etc.
2. Start From Assumptions: • Lean UX starts with assumptions. • Assumptions in lean help a team understand the generated idea and move forward without getting too hung up at one stage. • Be creative • Imagine • Question • 3. Create a Hypothesis: • Your assumptions are the source of your initial set of hypotheses. • User research and user-centered design approaches enable us to validate prototypes that are based on our assumptions and hypotheses.
4. Minimal Viable Product (MVP): • MVP is creating designs that are usable. • This is a key to any design and development. • Such designs fall under the category of being emotional, usable, reliable and functional. • If you want your customers to say, ‘Whoa, this is amazing,’ then you have to create EVP (exceptional viable product).
What’s Next? • Here are few things to remember when adopting Lean UX design: • In Lean UX methodology, team members have to collaborate and understand the end-users better and formulate a viable design. • A successful product is not all about solid engineering. • Product managers, developers, and designers must match their ideas with user goals.
