Lean UX is all the rage for 2016, as many teams are starting to adapt it. The goal is to make evidence-based design decisions to learn from our customers, and minimize waste in doing so. But one thing we need more evidence on: whether using lean UX actually works! In practice, lean UX is often a rationalization for poorly designed MVPs that fail to deliver the promised benefits.

For the first hour of this talk, Everett will present the fundamental concepts and techniques of lean UX, and make a case why they may not deliver their promised results. The remaining time is reserved for questions and group discussion about your own experience with lean techniques, and whether or not you agree with Everett's concerns.
