Incorporating Lean UX into Agile

Designing holistically within a short iteration agile environment can be complicated. Incorporating lean principals into your agile process can help you create better software that aligns to a holistic user experience strategy. We'll cover strategies from the lean playbook as well as other practical processes to move from coping with the agile process to embracing it.

9. DESIGN THINKING
10. “Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” —Tim Brown, president and CEO IDEO
12. AGILE
13. CREATED BY SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS ITERATIVE VS LINEAR NOT MEANT TO ASK WHY BUT INTENDED TO SOLVE HOW
14. We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan
15. AGILE & UX
18. THE OTHER WAY
19. DEFINE DESIGN DEVELOP TEST DEPLOY WATERFALL
20. DEFINE DESIGN DEVELOP TEST DEPLOY LINEAR
21. DEFINE DESIGN DEVELOP TEST DEPLOY
22. DEFINE DESIGN
23. LINEAR DESIGN PROBLEMS 1. THE DESIGN DOESN’T GET IMPLEMENTED 2. WRONG FOR THE MARKET DESPITE USER RESEARCH 3. FEEDBACK MISSING LATE IN THE PROCESS 4. DOESN’T REACT TO CHANGE QUICK ENOUGH

52. IMPLEMENTING LEAN UX 1. IN THE ROOM 2. WITHIN THE SPRINT 3. HOLISTICALLY
53. 1. IN THE ROOM
54. CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAMS
56. GET EVERYONE INVOLVED (DESIGN WORKSHOPS) PROMOTE CROSS FUNCTIONAL PAIRING BREAKS DOWN SILOS GET OUT OF THE BUILDING DESIGN ROCKSTARS DON’T WORK WELL
57. SHARED UNDERSTANDING
59. ATTENDING MEETINGS EXTERNALIZING YOUR WORK DISCUSSING AND SHARING THE VISION
60. 2. WITHIN THE SPRINT
61. ITERATION MEETINGS
63. GROOMING PLANNING STORY WRITING
65. CONCEPTS AND PROTOTYPES
67. LOW FIDELITY FIRST ITERATE YOUR FIDELITY PROTOTYPE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE
68. RESEARCH AND TESTING
69. ONE DAY EVERY ITERATION 3-5 PEOPLE TEST EVERYTHING TEST ANYTHING VALIDATE INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY
70. MEASURE BUILD LEARN
71. 3. HOLISTICALLY
72. DEVELOP DESIGN PRINCIPLES
73. WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE BUSINESS GET KEY BUY IN STICK TO THEM, CITE THEM OFTEN ADJUST THEM WHEN NEEDED
74. PATTERN LIBRARIES AND STYLE GUIDES
77. NOT JUST FOR DESIGNERS MUST BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE NEED TO BE CURATED AND UPDATED
78. STORY MAPS
79. A FEATURE HIERARCHY OF THE BACKLOG HELPS YOU KEEP AN EYE ON THE BIG PICTURE

96. THE PROCESS ITSELF IS ITERATIVE
97. TURN THE DESIGN TOOLKIT TOWARDS THE PROCESS FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR TEAM CHANGE IS OK
98. IT’S DESIGN THINKING
