Adapt to evidence quickly

SCRUM & LEAN UX | Episode 12

The ‘Scrum and Lean UX’ series discusses the appliance of Lean UX principles and practices in Scrum. All its articles have this theme and can be read on their own.

Lean UX guides Scrum Teams towards working in smaller, more focussed iterations that build evidence for hypotheses quickly.

Naturally, the earlier we obtain evidence the less waste incurs. The same goes for the duration between a learning and the adaptation.

So, how to minimize the time from evidence to adaptation?

In this article we’ll run through 5 ways that enable us to do so:

• Embrace Incremental Development;
• Involve actual users (moving out of the cave);
• Remove bottlenecks;
• React to evidence in real-time;
• Personalize Delivery;

1. Embrace Incremental Development

Scrum Teams establish the minimum that is needed to establish a viable yet valuable addition or adaptation of the increment. After collecting insights on how it is received and used, what would make sense to add, adapt or even remove next?
