The focus of our UX work is principle-driven design. This means working with light-weight methods, rapid prototyping and just-enough documentation, with quick, collaborative, iterative delivery, that is value-driven and customer-validated.
We use Lean UX and Lean Start-up to help our clients rapidly shorten their products’ development cycle by delivering smaller, viable, and lovable products. The focus is to quickly learn from their use, in order to deliver incrimental, continuous, high-value improvements to customers.

What makes an agile team great and why? After coaching a number of teams in Scrum, we’ve now seen a number that, after a some months now, could be considered high performers. Some of these go bad and reject any external criticism regardless of how accurate that might be. Why do these teams go bad? Groupthink might have the answer.
There are many traditional times you can engage users – gathering requirements and user acceptance testing. What are the best times to engage users when you’re in an agile team?
How do you make Design Thinking, Lean UX, and Agile work together. Sprint 0? Design Sprints? Upfront design and planning tends to delay the delivery of value, so there must be a better way to use Scrum but also engage in discovery work at the same time without devolving into parallel design work. Integrating design, user research, and experimentation into Sprints is the key.
