Lean UX

Agility through cross-functional collaboration

The world of software has become continuous. New delivery capabilities like continuous deployment and integration have enabled channels like app stores and the web to provide us with an unprecedented feedback loop. Every time we launch software we can take advantage of this continuous learning cycle to understand who is using our products and services, what they’re doing with them and how we’re meeting their expectations and our business goals. Combined with techniques born out of user experience and design, we have an unprecedented opportunity to build products that truly meet customer needs and help our businesses win.

Why Attend

This new continuous reality fundamentally changes the way we discover and create new products and services. The old waterfall ways of software development are dead. The new way is a collaborative, continuous cycle of concepting, delivering, learning, and iterating.

The only way to truly harness the benefits of this new reality is in a collaborative, cross-functional team that bases its decisions on evidence from the market gained through experimentation and hypothesis.

Jeff Gothelf is an expert in teaching teams how to work in this collaborative fashion and has captured these ideas in his book, Lean UX: Applying lean methods to improve user experience.
