Abstract

The software industries often look for ways to remain competitive in terms of cost and time to market. Lean UX is a methodology aiming to achieve this. In this paper, by means of a Systematic Literature Review, authors outline the evolution of Lean UX since its origins, its challenges and benefits, and its definition by means of a systematic literature review. Results showed similarities of the definition of Lean UX, challenges and benefits regarding communication, user testing, team collaboration and the adoption of the concept.
