Lean UX

Lean User Experience (UX) refers to a type of design process that focuses on creating superior user experiences. It is a theoretical concept and scientific practice that focuses on holistic collaboration between teams and focuses more on iterative learning than traditional design theories.

This approach focuses heavily on user experience and takes a customer-centric approach. There are various learning loops and development of minimum viable products (MVPs) that set this methodology apart from others.

Lean UX Process

The Lean UX design process is as follows -

  • Create - The next step is to create the MVP and add features that will help solve the problem in the way you have identified in the first step. The aim is to create a starting point for your product.
  • Evaluate - In this final step of the Lean UX process, you gather user feedback on the product you’ve created. The aim is to find out what can be improved and strategize further to implement those improvements.
