Lean UX: Collaborating with Product and Engineering

An intermediate course in working hypothesis-first inside an agile team, running continuous discovery alongside delivery in a dual-track model, and handing off designs with the specs, documented edge cases, and QA collaboration that survive real development.

By the end of this course you can work hypothesis-first inside an agile team, run continuous discovery alongside delivery without disrupting its cadence, and hand off designs with the specs, documented edge cases, and collaborative QA that let engineering build with confidence and let trust compound over time.

01How to work hypothesis-first in an agile team, including outcomes versus outputs, writing a testable hypothesis, assumption mapping, minimum viable tests, sprint cadence, prioritizing hypotheses, cross-functional buy-in, and treating a disproven hypothesis as information
02How to run dual-track agile, including the one-sprint-ahead target, continuous weekly discovery habits, feeding validated concepts into a shared backlog, balancing exploratory and validating research, collaborating with a product manager on prioritization, avoiding a discovery bottleneck, and measuring discovery's own health
03How to hand off designs that survive development, including documenting every state and edge case, writing precise specs that pass the two-engineers test, writing acceptance criteria collaboratively, design QA beyond pixel-matching, handling scope changes mid-sprint, tracking design debt on purpose, and building trust with engineering over time
04How to trace a single continuous Lean UX effort, spanning a testable hypothesis, dual-track discovery, and disciplined handoff and QA, through a real, growing product end to end

What You'll Gain
  • Builds directly on the research and design-systems courses in this curriculum
  • Every pattern is grounded in a concrete hypothesis, backlog decision, or handoff artifact, not abstract theory
  • Every lesson ends with a worked example you can practice on
  • Covers the full path from a single testable hypothesis to a fully handed-off, trusted, shipped feature
Who Is This Course For?
  • Intermediate learners who have completed this curriculum's research and design-systems courses and now want to specialize in Lean UX collaboration
  • Career switchers building a portfolio-ready skill set for working inside agile, cross-functional product teams
  • Product designers who already ship features but want a more disciplined hypothesis-driven and dual-track process
  • Students preparing for a product designer role at a company running agile delivery alongside a growing engineering team
Course Features
  • 30 short, focused lessons across 3 progressive levels
  • A graded quiz after every lesson and a 12-question exam per level
  • Three continuous worked examples (hypothesis-driven design, dual-track agile setup, and a full hypothesis-through-handoff capstone) for a fictional task-management app, Ferry, threaded through the closing lessons
  • No specific tool required — this course builds transferable Lean UX collaboration judgment first
