Lean vs Agile vs Design Thinking vs... YOU

In this video, I'll talk about processes and methods when it comes to product and service delivery. The book I feature is by Jeff Gothelf (the author behind one of the best books for new UX designers - Lean UX) and is called Lean vs Agile vs Design Thinking. It's a super short (just over 40 pages) book that each and every user experience designer, user researcher, developer or product manager should read through. In the video, I'll share my thoughts on each of the different methodologies based on my previous experience as well as give some suggestions on what you should focus most.
As per usual, pick up this book and give the author kudos: amzn.to/2P8765g

    a few points to clarify on this: anything before or after the lean framework is considered design thinking. In terms of a timeline, lean is used to prototype products in the present whereas design thinking is used to ideate & define products in the future. Example: we use a design thinking framework to figure out that a segment of drivers actually would like to purchase electric cars. Once what we are building is established, we then use a lean framework to create our MVP. So zooming out, here is what it looks like.

    Thank you for sharing!!! I am a junior service designer. It’s easy to confuse how to combine different methods in different stages of process.

    Big budget, big team, long timeline, access to resource => design thinking or ucd Tight budget, short timeline, less resource => lean Uncertain requirements, short timeline => agile Based on experience, any approach will work as long as you hit the desired outcomes.

    What I take away is that, there is a context for application of each approach. One needs to know that. Also, the question for the industry is how better to provide customer value. Then comes the discussion on tools/approaches. Thanks for tacking this subject in the video.

    Great delineations. Bought the audio book immediately under your advice. I have found these methodologies separately. And they still seem separate. Agile development STILL is 'mis' used to protect software engineering from being falsely accused of refusing to change. That is understandable. However, agile is used to make the software engineers' job easier. The original agile theory was to increase software-product quality. And today, product quality is far down the list of conscious goals. Today's software engineers are 90% focussed on turning in the most user-stories during a sprint. They have become accidentally removed from concerning the selve with helping to deliver happy customers. Most of today's software engineers are dimly away that they are turning stories that are actually called "USER stories". Engineers are measured by their speed of turning in stories. They are not measured by the quality of the users' experience nor the delivery of new business. And I could discuss similar problems with the other two; lean design; and design thinking. And I agree with you. People on the same mission perform best when they work from beginning to end of the mission. And everyone enjoys the rewards of succeeding.

    Hi. I'm relatively newbie in ux world and I stumbled upon this video. It's a nice video that helped me understanding about various methodologies in product development. Thanks for making this video! I'm just curious about 1 thing in lean methodology, which is how research can be incorporated in it? Since, as far as i know, research took quite a bit of time in prior and may disrupt the velocity of the release

    Lean is all about experimentation with (just enough) informed decisions. Followed by continuous learning and iterations. A lot of UX designers and researchers absolute hate lean for the same reasons. But if you are a designer in the midst of agile product development you might be stuck in that rut. Ideally you'd want to do both: be exploitative enough but also nimble to implement and release then the time is right

    SAFe is agile at a scale and ability to scale from small agile teams to larger org efforts at once. It's also a trademarked framework which in my eyes makes it repackaged crap. Agile at a scale also means heading back towards the factory worker ways of doing things with severe loss of soul.

    @@vaexperience is SAFe crap because it's trademarked? I think I'd rather stick with your fundamental principle that these are all essentially mindsets/perception/propositions to solutioning, and usage will largely be down to individual preferences, experience and tailoring capabilities. Apart from the ART and Solution Trains, there's nothing in SAFe that's new. Nonetheless, there's no gainsaying that the foundational principles that imbue the SAFe mindset are battle tested.

    Not specifically trademark is the issue, it's as you said yourself - a repurposing of other methods, frameworks, etc. but under a new name / private ownership. There's a lot of that already, and besides remarketing existing methods with new names it doesn't seem like adds much else. I might be missing a lot here though, as obviously they do have their own edge its application for bigger organizations might be it

    Hi, you said the templates are editable. After downloading them, I see they're jpgs. How do you edit jpgs, mr. genius? Why didn't you send the original (Native) files? Those should be editable.
