In this Insights Unlocked episode, Andy MacMillan talks with Laura Klein, a veteran in the experience research space, known for her expertise as an author, UX researcher, engineer, and product manager. They discuss the concept of designing for the smallest possible thing to avoid the cost of rework in product development.

Laura emphasizes the importance of building the smallest thing needed to learn something or understand a problem better. It's not about building something small just for the sake of it; rather, it's about identifying the specific information that needs to be learned and finding the most efficient way to gain insights.

"Build the smallest possible thing that you can to learn something or to understand something better," Laura said.

They also touch on the challenges faced by UX researchers and the importance of including customer feedback in the product development process.
