Lean User Testing
A Pragmatic Step-by-Step Guide to User TestsIf you believe in agile software development and delivering value to your customers and your company, reading this book is the right decision as it will greatly support your process to identify and create valuable, feasible and usable products.
“We Know What We Need to Build”
Who hasn't yet heard that dreaded, gut feeling-based notion in the past? To my experience, it is rarely valid, but more often an expression of an outdated thinking, that values output over outcome, that believes in requirement documents and micromanaging the product team.
This book, however, is dedicated to completely different approach, that Steve Blank once wrapped up in his famous quote: „There are No Facts Inside Your Building — Get Outside“. And you should do so as early as possible in the process – it is the most important task of any product team.
This book is therefore a deliberately short, focused, pragmatic manual for everyone, who designs, develops or markets software: Product manager, engineers and designers (UX/UI). It is based on hundreds of user interviews that I have run up to now and provides all you need to know to start your own user interview initiative in about two hours of your time.
Save up to 90% of Typical User Interview Costs
And there is more good news: The lean user testing approach will save up to 90% of the costs compared to outsourcing user interviews to a professional usability agency, but will return at least 80% of possible insights.
Avoid Building Expensive Features Nobody Wants
No more flying blind in the early stages: Test your hypotheses quickly and turn product discovery into your advantage over the competition.
Learn how to avoid wasting money on software nobody wants and how to deliver value instead. Obsolete features aren't just expensive to build. They also need to be maintained and probably be removed at a later stage again, not to mention their opportunity costs: Imagine what you could have built instead.
Gain More Runway for Your Startup
Optimizing the cycle-time of your product hypotheses will focus available engineering and product management resources on valuable, usable and feasible features, thus extending your runway and improving your standing for the next funding round.
Improve Communication with Stakeholders
User tests greatly simplify the communication with stakeholders – the interviews, you will be running, are your product organization's first line of defense when it comes to turning down unreasonable feature requests.
About the Author
The author has worked for many years as a product manager and agile coach (Scrum, Lean Startup, Lean Change). During that time, he developed B2C as well as B2B software, mainly for startups, including a former Google subsidiary.
He originally studied chemistry, business administration, and law. However, he has never worked in a laboratory. Instead, back in 1996, he released the first online shop software with SAP R/3 connectivity, only to learn that the early bird does not necessarily catch the worm.
After his move to Berlin, Germany, he founded a marketplace for local service. In 2011, Entrepreneurs Club Berlin e.V. followed, as did Startup Camp Berlin— one of the largest German startup conferences today.
His latest project, Age Of Product – Invent For Your Customers, focuses on the exchange of knowledge between product people, designers, and developers. It is about lessons learned and best practices on how to identify which product to build and how to build it in an efficient way. Age Of Product will host events and workshops in Berlin from autumn 2015 on and might also organize a new conference in the near future.

The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.
If an article is posted by us on AbeBooks, the activation of the offer page on AbeBooks is the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalog. You have the option to complete the ordering process via the shopping cart system or the buy now function. You can initially place our products in the shopping cart without obligation and correct your entries at any time before submitting your binding order by using the correction tools provided and explained for this purpose in the order process.

By pressing the button "Buy now" an order is automatically created, which will be sent to the delivery address you have provided and for which a payment is made with the specified payment method.
The confirmation of receipt of your order will be sent by e-mail immediately after sending the order. We accept your order within 2 days by us or AbeBooks on our behalf submitting/issuing a declaration of acceptance or shipping confirmation in a separate email or, if applicable, the payment transaction is carried out by the service provider or the selected payment service provider.

9 a.m. to 6 p.m., e-mail: service@momox-shop.uk
9. liability
For claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, we shall always be liable without limitation - in the event of injury to life, limb or health - in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty - in the event of warranty promises, insofar as agreed, or - insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened. In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the proper execution of the contract and the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely on (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability shall be limited to the amount of the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.
10. dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers have the possibility to use this platform for the settlement of their disputes.
To settle disputes arising from a contractual relationship with a consumer or whether such a contractual relationship exists at all, we are obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. The responsible body is the Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes am Zentrum für Schlichtung e.V., Straßburger Straße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, www.verbraucher-schlichter.de. We will participate in a dispute resolution procedure before this body.
11. protection of minors
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure involving a personal identity and age check. The delivery person will hand over the goods only after the age check has been carried out and only to the customer in person.
Delivery to packing stations is not possible in this case.
