Lean UX: Designing Great Products with Agile Teams (Second Edition)

By: Jeff Gothelf, Josh Seiden

Narrated by: Douglas Martin

Lean UX has become the preferred approach to interaction design, tailor-made for today’s agile teams. In the second edition of this award-winning book, leading advocates Jeff Gothelf and Josh Seiden expand on the valuable Lean UX principles, tactics, and techniques covered in the first edition to share how product teams can easily incorporate design, experimentation, iteration, and continuous learning from real users into their Agile process.

Inspired by Lean and Agile development theories, Lean UX lets you focus on the actual experience being designed, rather than deliverables. This book shows you how to collaborate closely with other members of your Agile product team, and gather feedback early and often. You’ll learn how to drive the design in short, iterative cycles to assess what works best for the business and the user. Lean UX shows you how to make this change - for the better.

• Frame a vision of the problem you’re solving and focus your team on the right outcomes.
• Bring the designers’ toolkit to the rest of your product team.
• Share your insights with your team much earlier in the process.
• Create Minimum Viable Products to determine which ideas are valid.
• Incorporate the voice of the customer throughout the project cycle.
• Make your team more productive: combine Lean UX with Agile’s Scrum framework.
• Understand the organizational shifts necessary to integrate Lean UX.

The standard for all design teams

Incredibly well written and articulated.
I believe everyone involved in designing in any industry would gain a great benefit from its contents. Very pleased to have found this book and to share with others.

not very enganging

Might be that I am not entirely in this world and haven't read dozens of UX books but it never captured me or interested me.

Extremely Helpful for UXers

I was designer and developer in a cross functional team and I wanted to learn how to help our small team excel. This book defined practices we already did without a name and created improved/new protocols for us. I recently transitioned to researcher and this laid the ground work for the new position. great read, but I highly recommend purchasing the phyiscal book for the references and guides.

Just another compilation of pre-existing ideas

The marketing material for this book is really good. I was convinced it was exactly what I was looking for.

but after listening to the first half of the book I realized I was just hearing a catalog of techniques that have been tried and tested over the last decades. the book didn't really bring any new ideas on how to apply them or combine them. it was really very disappointing.
