In this week’s Product Agility Podcast, we’re joined by Jeff Gothelf, author, speaker, and product discovery expert, to explore the evolution of Lean UX and why it’s no longer just about UX. Jeff shares how the Lean Product Canvas has shifted the way teams collaborate, align on business problems, and focus on outcomes over outputs.
With decades of experience in UX, product management, and agile coaching, Jeff reveals why so many teams get stuck in feature factories and how a problem-solving mindset can unlock better products, stronger teams, and more customer impact.
Key Takeaways:
- Why Lean UX is "dead"—and what’s replacing it.
- The Lean Product Canvas—A practical framework for product discovery and decision-making.
- Outcomes over outputs—How to move beyond feature delivery and focus on real business impact.
- Product vs. Agile Mindset—Why agile teams need stronger product thinking.
- The risk of blindly building AI products—How to avoid the latest hype cycle trap.
Practical Insights:
- From UX to cross-functional collaboration: Why this shift matters for teams.
- How Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches can apply Lean Product principles.
- Avoiding waste: How teams can save millions by validating ideas early.
- Using OKRs effectively: How Lean Product discovery naturally aligns with outcome-driven goals.
Quotable Moment:
"You don’t succeed just by delivering features—you succeed when customer behaviour changes."
