<p>If you work in UX, you’ve probably heard the terms lean, Agile, and MVP more times than you can count. But knowing the terms doesn’t mean knowing how to make them work. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Laura Klein, Principal Experience Specialist at NN/G, joins Therese Fessenden to talk about what Lean UX was really meant to accomplish — and how teams today can apply its principles without falling into common traps.</p><p><br></p><p>Listen as they discuss how Lean UX came about, the skill of zooming between product vision and interaction details, and why growing companies struggle to balance speed and consistency. Whether you’re working at a startup or inside a large enterprise, this episode offers a grounded look at how to design thoughtfully in fast-moving environments.</p><p><br></p><p>We’re also excited to have Laura join as the newest co-host of the NN/G UX Podcast. And many congratulations to the Fessenden family as they welcome a new addition to their family.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Laura Klein</strong> | <a href="https://www.nngroup.com/people/laura-klein/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Bio</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauraklein2/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Linkedin</a> | <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/lauraklein.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a> | <a href="https://www.usersknow.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Usersknow.com</a></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.usersknow.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">What is Wrong With UX (Podcast)</a></li><li><a href="https://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/build-better-products/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Build Better Products (Book)</a></li><li><a href="https://a.co/d/0hNsXmi0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">UX for Lean Startups (Book)</a></li><p><br></p></ul><p><strong>NN/G Live Online Courses Taught by Laura</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/courses/lean-ux-and-agile/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Lean UX and Agile</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/courses/product-and-ux/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Product &amp; UX: Building Partnerships for Better Outcomes</a></li><li><a href="http://nngroup.com/learning" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">All Our Live Courses</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Free NN/G Articles &amp; Videos</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/lean-ux-agile-study-guide/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Lean UX &amp; Agile: Study Guide</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/agile-glossary/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Lean UX &amp; Agile Glossary</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/videos/lean-ux/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">What is Lean UX?</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/user-research-agile/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Accounting for User Research in Agile</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/why-organizations-dont-do-user-research/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Why Organizations Don’t Do User Research and How to Change That</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/teams-arent-empowered/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ep58" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Why Most Product Teams Aren&#39;t Really Empowered</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Don’t forget to like and subscribe! ❤️</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Us On:</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/subscribe/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Newsletter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nngux/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.threads.com/@nngux" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Threads</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/nielsen-norman-group/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Linkedin</a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/nngroupux.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/NNgroup" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">X</a></p><p><br></p><p>📹 <strong>Post-production by</strong></p><p>Tiago Pedro (Design Assistant)</p><p>Megan Brown (Social Media Lead)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>TYXU5WMUAXAS8GTC</strong></p>
