Think Make Check
The Basics 💎
Lean UX is driven by 3 main concepts: Think, make, and check.
While it may be easier to see these as 3 steps that take place in a straight line, nothing could be further from the truth. Lean UX is a cycle that keeps going around, with the product improving and advancing every time the cycle is completed and started again.
Think-make-check has a lot in common with Lean Startup's build-measure-learn (BML) cycle, but it puts more emphasis on figuring out what to build before actually building it. However, the TMC and BML processes can be intertwined.
Who and When?
Not only UX designers conducting research benefit from utilizing the think-make-check approach, but entire product development teams – it's a great tool for crafting hypotheses and prototypes, and quickly gain valuable insights on ideas and concepts!
It's a continuous process for product improvement, and because of its hypotheses-driven qualities it has proven particularly beneficial in the earliest stages of a product's lifecycle.
Instructions 🎲
Add notes to the correct area:
Think if you're creating assumptions,
Make if you're developing hypotheses,
Check if you're conducting tests to validate or invalidate your hypotheses.
Use the inner circle for work in progress, and the outer circle for upcoming free-floaters that will be inserted into the cycle.
