Lean UX is a principle-driven approach for designing startup products.

With Lean UX, teams collaborate better, make faster decisions, and act decisively with more confidence.

By reducing long product cycles into smaller, shorter chunks and validating these iterations with people that will use our products, we gain the important information needed to avoid expensive development cycles that are laden with risk.

This is a newly organized discipline that recombines techniques and ideas from Agile, User Experience, and Customer Development, and it’s evolving rapidly. By giving this way of working a name and describing what it’s good for, Lean UX becomes something we can teach, debate, and repeat. It’s not rocket science, but it takes thought, focus, and an absolute commitment to users.
