PROPOSITION: Lean User Experience is a principle-driven process characterized by rituals that predispose teams to high-quality and high-velocity user experience outcomes.

Design Stand-Up Brief, standing up, start of day, after dev standup. Participatns are design and development functions, whoever they are

1. What did you work on yesterday? 2. Progress3. What’s on today? 4. Goal for today?

Increase frequency and density of communication across functions, while decreasing weight of those interactions.

Pairing Designer and developer sit next to each other, collaborate on the fly

Designer and dev pair during detailed design and design implementation.

Increase density of communications, speeds decision-making, eliminates review cycles

Wireframe CheckStandup-style, includes design and development (or another discipline, as needed)

Print wireframe and look at it together. Ask specifically: 1. Is this an accurate reflection of the system? 2. What’s hard to implement? 3. What easier alternatives are there?4. Is it worth the effort? 5. “Walk around” with the wireframe; no big “review meeting”.

Validates feasibility and appropriateness of design decisions, esp with regard to development effort and other unforseen implications

Start with “how will we know if this is good? Not always MetricsForces you to frame the question well and determine the value proposition per feature/page/widget

Improves the quality of the hypothesis.TDD for DesignFigure out how to test before ideation begins.
