5. “When a meeting, or part thereof, is
held under the Chatham House Rule,
participants are free to use the
information received, but neither the
identity nor the affiliation of the
speaker(s), nor that of any other
participant, may be revealed”
19. “Don also described and solicited discussion
on, the "User Interface [sic] Architect's
office" (hereafter UEA).”
- Meeting notes made by Tom Erickson, 1993
20. “I invented the term because I thought Human
Interface and usability were too narrow: I
wanted to cover all aspects of the person's
experience with a system, including industrial
design, graphics, the interface, the physical
interaction, and the manual.”
- Don Norman
25. “The model outlined here does not account for
secondary considerations (such as those
arising during technical or content
development) that may influence decisions
during user experience development. Also, this
model does not describe a development
process, nor does it define roles within a user
experience development team. Rather, it seeks
to define the key considerations that go into
the development of user experience on the
Web today.”
- Jesse James Garrett

48. The Lean Startup
“A true experiment
follows the scientific
method. It begins
with a clear
hypothesis that
makes predictions
about what is
supposed to happen.
It then tests those
predictions
empirically”
49. The Lean Startup
• Come up with hypothesis
• Design experiment
• Run experiment
• Validate/Invalidate hypothesis
• Repeat
64. Example
• Zappos
• Annual sales > US$1 billion
• Hypothesis: Is there a demand for
superior online shoe shopping
• Experiment: Took photos from shoe
shops, came back and bought them full
price if customer bought them online
Example from The Lean Startup, p57-58
65. Example
• Allowing users to register with twitter
will drop abandoned registrations by 5%
• Built fake “register with twitter” link
which led to nice error message
• Released to segment of customers on live
site
• Measured how many new users tried it
• <1% - hypothesis invalid
71. The question we have to solve for is not “What
does Lean User Experience mean?” The question
is “In a lean environment, how can we make
great user experiences?”
