Lean UX: Somewhere Over the Waterfall
You know that great design is critical to the success of your business. It differentiates your product, defines the experience, and creates passionate users and loyal customers. Yet, many teams today struggle with design. Designers are hard to hire, working with an agency is expensive and doesn’t transfer knowledge to the team. If you do have designers and developers working together, It’s challenging to bring UX methods into an agile process without creating a bottleneck and tensions in the team.
Lean UX is a way to solve these problems. It’s a deeply practical and collaborative way of working that recombines techniques and ideas from Agile, User Experience, and Customer Development. It’s a principled approach to startup products that makes the most of your team, increases measurable outcomes, and delights your customers. This adds up to good things for you and your investors.
With Lean UX, teams collaborate better, make faster decisions, and act decisively with more confidence.

What's happening? I got an email saying some spots opened up? And it says there are two remaining? So why am I on the wait list? Can I be added?

Same thing, thought there were spaces left and on waitlist.... hopefully it is a smaller list now?

Hi everybody. Within 5 minutes of sending the email, all of the spots were taken. I do see one spot open right now though. Perhaps someone cancelled.

Meetup sucks in that way. Instead of filling up new slots from the waiting list in first come first serve order, it creates a mad scramble of whomever happened to be on email at the time. I was lucky though - got seat #97 :)

That's correct. I know I was 21 on the waiting list and I now see all the spots taken. That does not seem fair.

LeanLA, if there is a waiting list, don't you think you should respect the order of that waiting list to fill in the additional slots that free up?

Pete MauroEvent HostOrganizerOne of the ways you can tell if a meetup is successful is by the amount of questions asked. Well, Lane patiently answered questions for almost as long as her talk! There were so many people on the waiting list, we may have to do this again sometime soon.

Steve LawrenceThis was my first Meetup so I wasn't sure what to expect. But, it was what I hoped for. The people were very interesting. I made some great connections. Lane Halley had an outstanding presentation. My favorite part is the question and answer session. I could listen to that all day...or until my head exploded.

Steve KleimanLane rocks. I just signed up for her workshop. And thanks for the pizza, LeanLA! Thanks for hosting, Coloft! Hurry up and open in Hollywood already.
