The Rise of Lean Startup
Janice FraserWednesday 18 April, 10:15 - 11:00
Since the debut of last year's bestseller The Lean Startup, business managers have begun to consider that perhaps their teams could be more innovative and less wasteful.
This presents a fantastic opportunity for designers. But what does Lean Startup mean? And will it play well with User Experience? In this talk, Janice will give you a crash course on Lean Startup, Customer Development, and how these trends are resolving some of the most difficult problems UX professionals face.
