Principles of lean UX:

1. team of 3 people: 1 designer + 1 product manager + 1 developer > highest velocity possible  > quickest learning cycles
2. externalise : kanban for designers
3. goal driven and outcome focused 
4. repeatable and routinized 
5. FLOW think/make/check
6. focus on solving the right problem
7. Recognize hypotheses and validate them
8. Research with users is the best source of information
9. Generate many options and decide quickly which to pursue

1. write the test first 
2. user quote need as sprint name
3. wireframe check
4. designer developer pairing
5. UX & Product Mgt participate in standup meetings daily
6. validation step
7. retrospective periodically

@SaintSal Externalise! It's about post-it notes and sharpies man! 4 people can stand around it together and talk about it. #luxr

@SaintSal Repeatable and routanised. Startups are notorious in making up ways to work. Work in repeatable ways that get results. #luxr

@Ultraman : Ux own customer empathy and work with developers to create something realistic is not only a #LeanUx #LUXr principle but a #design one

@SaintSal Pairing with designers saves a lot of time. To see how much, start with a test - pairing with a tricky bit. #luxr

@SaintSal Test-driven devel is for designers too! Why are developers allowed to get it wrong but designers are expected to get it right at 1st? #luxr

@SaintSal: @luxrco on emergent rituals vs strict processes: try starting with more rigidity then relaxing as it becomes habit. #luxr

@jacwex: Tom McCoy on product stewardship http://www.cooper.com/journal/2011/02/lean_ux_product_stewardship_an.html #luxr

@Ultraman : 3 person startup means you all have to chip in to fill gaps. Do what ever it takes! #LeanUx #LUXr

@hmitsch: Roman Voting: it's all about not talking and making decisions. #LUXr

@pmgandhi Behaviours are symptoms. Find the real problem #luxr

@pmgandhi: Research is not about surveys, it's about conversations with people. Get them to tell you a story #luxr #LeanStartup

@pmgandhi: Demographics less imp than behaviour and needs. Rich socialites and farmers use amazon alike #LUXr

@SaintSal @ultraman is talking about #gamestorming. More info on that at http://gogamestorm.com and http://leanca.mp too! #luxr

@mahemoff Apple UX works according to one persona, his name is "Steve ". Elsewhere personae are actually useful. #luxr

@javame Innovation at Google http://slidesha.re/prAolY the paper prototyping kit to build the park-jerk app I just mentioned at #luxr

@SaintSal: With personas, look for edge cases where if you design for them, you get the common user "for free." #luxr

@SaintSal: Pairing with designers saves a lot of time. To see how much, start with a test - pairing with a tricky bit. #luxr

@SaintSal: A good tool to track your learning is the risk log on thestartuptoolkit.com by Londoner @robfitz #luxr cc @luxrco

@javame: @ericries article about Vanity Metrics vs. Actionable Metrics http://bit.ly/q4lSID #luxr

@Ultraman : Build it and test it as early as possible. It is the only way to truly know if something works. #LeanUx #LUXr

@javame: if you are stuck just go faster! @clevergirl = legend #luxr

@Ultraman : If it does not work pull it. Knee jerk reactions are affordable when you do not have a brand reputation yet. #LeanUx #LUXr

@whatterz: "Test in pennies, spend in dollars." #LeanUx #LUXr

@hmitsch: Move from "Product Owner" terminology to "Product Stewardship" understanding, creating things together. We are one product team. #LUXr

@javame: empathy mapping http://t.co/F6gI70F to develop personas #luxr”

@SaintSal Usability testing is like your liver. It won't keep you alive but it will keep you from dying. #luxr #LeanStartup
