About This Course

Design better and faster user experiences (UX) with Lean UX

Learn the Lean UX way to design better, faster user experiences.

You'll learn everything you need to know to use a Lean UX process on your next project. Lean UX applies the Lean Startup ideas to the design of user experiences. When you do Lean UX you come up with hypotheses about design, create minimum viable products/prototypes, then test the hypotheses with your users. At that point you make a decision about whether your hypotheses were true or not, and what idea to try next. It's a radical approach to designing user experiences. The result is that you design better and you design faster.

  1. What Lean UX is, and how it is different from other UX processes and methodologies

  2. How to come up with hypotheses for your projects

Probably because I like to teach and consult about brain science. I'm...

The title of the course states the material to be covered is on the Lean UX process. The topic is barely covered, most of the class is about how Lean works at a high level and how to create and test hypothesis. The material would be better received by anyone who expected to be given a primer on Lean project processes, but this is not a class covering Lean UX.

When I incorrectly answer a question, it just tells me that it’s something I should review, but I’m not sure where it was actually covered...

Good course at a high level. Not real deep, but it wasn't meant to be deep. My only recommendation is to add a few more exercises into the course.

I like the instructor but am struggling to figure out how this would work in my organization. For example, what if the MVP itself must be larger for a user to even complete a task? Does the hypothesis span multiple Sprints? In practice, this could get very complicated.

Unfortunately the lack of real-world implementation this course sounds like a utopic view for a company. Using the method she implores has very little sucess for a project focused company that has zero patience for failure.
