Lean UX, 3rd Edition

Authors’ Note

As we set out to write the third edition of this book, we realized that the influence of an ever-diverse group of practitioners, writers, coaches, and consultants has helped Lean UX grow and evolve to meet the changing needs of software design and development. We wanted to take a moment to thank them.

We continue to learn from the core group of colleagues and fellow road warriors who share their wisdom and feedback with us, including Tendayi Viki, Teresa Torres, Melissa Perri, Hope Gurion, Barry O’Reilly, Sam McAfee, Andy Polaine, David Bland, Andi Plantenberg, Jonathan Bertfield, Kate Leto, Daniel Stillman, Beth Temple, Jocelyn Miller, Bob Gower, Douglas Ferguson, Martina Hodges-Schell, Erin Stadler, Jeff Patton, Petra Wille, Janet Bumpas, Jonathan Berger, and Adrian Howard. We build our ideas on top of theirs and those of our clients.

As always, we would like to thank the many folks who have contributed material, stories, research leads, Twitter help, technical wisdom, and emotional support to the book. In particular, we’d like to thank Andrew Bourne, Ike Breed, Steven Cohn, Regine Gilbert, Victor M. Gonzalez, Zach Gottlieb, Jamila Isoke, Liz Laub, Jon Loyens, Dan Maccarone, Jono Mallanyk, Lin Nie, Greg Petroff, Steve Portigal, Leisa Reichelt, Delphine Sassi, Alexander Schardt, Kristin Skinner, Erik Skogsberg, Jessica Tiao, Kate Towsey, Ben Walker, Rosie Webster, and Lee Weiss.
