The Lean UX approach to interaction design is tailor-made for today’s web-driven reality. In this insightful book, leading advocate Jeff Gothelf teaches you valuable Lean UX principles, tactics, and techniques from the ground up—how to rapidly experiment with design ideas, validate them with real users, and continually adjust your design based on what you learn.
Inspired by Lean and Agile development theories, Lean UX lets you focus on the actual experience being designed, rather than deliverables. This book shows you how to collaborate closely with other members of the product team, and gather feedback early and often. You’ll learn how to drive the design in short, iterative cycles to assess what works best for the business and the user. Lean UX shows you how to make this change—for the better.
- Frame a vision of the problem you’re solving and focus your team on the right outcomes
- Bring the designers’ toolkit to the rest of your product team
- Share your insights with your team much earlier in the process
- Create Minimum Viable Products to determine which ideas are valid
- Incorporate the voice of the customer throughout the project cycle
- Make your team more productive: combine Lean UX with Agile’s Scrum framework
- Understand the organizational shifts necessary to integrate Lean UX
Lean UX received the 2013 Jolt Award from Dr. Dobb's Journal as the best book of the year. The publication's panel of judges chose five notable books, published during a 12-month period ending June 30, that every serious programmer should read.

Free Lean UX: Applying Lean Principles to Improve User Experience
I'm a technical writer who has often been involved with UX, and both writing and UX are often left out of the scrum team when product development departments move to Agile, so I was glad to see how these authors addressed the UX component. They present ideas, answer questions, and address concerns that UX designers and other team members will probably have when trying to fit UX into sprints that already seem too short.
Several other reviewers have commented that this is a relatively thin book, and therefore it's a quick read, but A does not necessarily follow B here. Make it a quick read if you like, but I think you'll only get out of it what you put into it. Even if it is a "quick read," it's not a "quick implement." Several of the ideas put forth are major changes from waterfall development and the way that designers have traditionally worked, and it will take some time and a few false starts before a team finds their comfort zone with this. You should find yourself referring back to the book frequently as you switch over.
The authors say that Lean UX is a mindset, and they support that position with a chapter that describes Lean UX principles. Unfortunately, they list 3 foundations and 15 "key principles" that are "critical to the success of Lean UX." They seem to have forgotten one basic design principle, which is that people can't remember more than a few things from a list, perhaps 7 at the most. It's just not possible to focus on 15 principles at the same time and try to make sure that your processes reflect all of them. Some of these principles are high level (such as "Progress = Outcomes, not Output") and others are the result of, or an aspect of applying those, such as "Removing Waste.
