Lean UX Training | Belfast | October 2018

This course is for experienced UX practitioners.

It’s a deep dive into collaborative problem solving. It assumes working knowledge of UX principles and theories, and several years working in the field.
During the 2-day programme we’ll look at how to approach problem solving: how to identify problems, how to brainstorm ideas, and how to use collaborative design techniques to arrive at solutions.

This is a hands-on course.

You’ll conduct live interviews with real customers of one of Belfast's best-known brands. You’ll gather research data during fieldwork in Belfast city centre. And you’ll put it all together during collaborative workshops with your teammates.

Note: this is not a beginner’s course. We won’t be covering UX theories or principles. Nor is it an introduction to wireframing or usability testing. (If you’re a little less experienced, please see our UX Foundation Course)
