Product Design Leaders and Authors

by Jeff Gothelf, Josh Seiden
Lean UX applies Lean Startup principles to UX design, teaching teams to rapidly validate design hypotheses through experimentation rather than heavy deliverables. The book bridges Agile development and user-centreed design, showing how cross-functional teams can collaborate to build better products with faster feedback loops. Winner of the 2013 Jolt Award, it became a foundational text for integrating design into Agile workflows.
The books Jeff Gothelf, Josh Seiden references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Eric Ries
Ries argues most startups fail by building products nobody wants. The solution: treat your business as an experiment, measure validated learning, and pivot before you run out of cash.
by Ash Maurya
Maurya adapts lean startup principles into a staged process for de-risking new product ideas. The focus is finding a problem worth solving before building a solution, using rapid experimentation.
by Steve Krug
Krug argues that good web design is about eliminating thought, not adding features. Users scan, not read, so every page should be self-evident and require zero mental effort to navigate.
by Don Norman
Norman reveals why badly designed objects frustrate us and how good design makes correct use intuitive. The principles, affordances, feedback, constraints, apply far beyond physical products.
