The User Experience (UX) development method plays an important role in ensuring the successful design of the user experience of an application that is effective, satisfying and meets user needs. This study compares two popular methods that are often used in developing UX, namely Design Thinking and Lean UX. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the advantages, disadvantages and focus of each method in developing UX designs. The results of this study indicate that the Design Thinking method focuses more on understanding the user or is more user-centered, while Lean UX focuses more on flexibility and fast iteration as well as continuous experimentation or testing. Based on this, it is interesting to further investigate how a team determines which method to use in their UX design project, considering that both methods have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there are various factors that influence the UX design development stage, such as resources, time, project scale, and others.
