The document discusses the concept of LeanUX. It begins with an introduction to Raven Chai, the founding principal consultant of a UX consulting firm. The bulk of the document then discusses LeanUX, emphasizing that it is about minimizing waste, not doing less UX work or being lazy. It provides examples of how LeanUX focuses on rapid prototyping and getting feedback from users early to validate ideas, rather than extensive documentation. The document concludes by outlining an agenda for discussing LeanUX further, including an overview, design stories, key learnings, and resources.
