Join as on April 11th at space150 to hear Elliot Payne and his team discuss how they implement Lean UX in their agency environment.

The rise of the web has led to the convergence of content, product, distribution and consumption, blurring the lines between software and media product. How are agencies supposed to adapt to this new service-orientated and networked world? Lean UX is a process that aims to tackle these challenges. Lean UX is at the cross-roads of Lean Startup and User Experience with an emphasis on Design Thinking and Agile development, breaking down the barriers between designers, developers and business teams to deliver real value. At its core, Lean UX is a mindset shift away from shipping deliverables towards a focus on shipping value and reducing waste by building shared understanding.

Our presenters will show how Lean UX can be used to define business value up front and, with an experimental mindset, how actual implementations can deliver on that value.
