The Lean Startup - Why?

assumptions
It’s Obvious that Everybody Wants It!
...Obviously with All this Features!
...and sure with this Pricing Model!

...discover too late that
there aren’t customers!
Value of The Idea = 0.00*
Validated Product has Value! > 0.00*
The Lean Startup - Path To Success



Fail, Iterate, Don’t Give Up,
but Learn !

Bounce Back ...Until You Find
Product/Market Fit

...Without Running Out of Money

       Customer Discovery
               pivoting
       Customer Validation

      Customer Creation
       Company Building
The Lean Startup Loop
MVP Minimum Viable Product


Ask Minimal Required Needs to
Potential Customers/Early Evangelists

Collect the maximum amount of
validated learning about customers
with the least effort

1) What are you trying to Learn?
2) With which Data?
3) What Measures Success/Failure?
Metrics

Vanity Metrics vs Actionable Accessible Auditable
Pivot Or Persevere

Your Idea is Probably Wrong

A Pivot is a special kind of change
designed to test a new fundamental
hypothesis about the product, business
model, and engine of growth

Lean Startup 5 Principles
Lean Startup 5 Principles


1 Entrepreneurs Are Everywhere


The goal is NOT to optimize for profit,
margin, or growth.

The goal is that any change that
accelerates learning is a win, and
everything else is waste.
Lean Startup 5 Principles


2 Entrepreneurship is Management

A set of management principles that
seek to test assumptions and
eliminate unknowns.

By talking to customers…
By building simple products…
By measuring the effect of our work...
Lean Startup 5 Principles


3 Validated Learning

Constantly experimenting with new
product features and product
marketing to increase the yield on each
new crop of customers they bring in.

Learn what works and what doesn't.
Lean Startup Principles



4 Innovation Accounting

1) Use a minimal viable product MVP

2) From the Baseline to the Ideal

3) Persevere or Pivot
Lean Startup 5 Principles


5 Build-Measure-Learn

Lean Startup Top 5 Myths
Lean Startup Top 5 Myths



Myth 1 Lean means cheap. Lean
startups try to spend as little money
as possible.


The Lean Startup method is not about
cost, it is about speed.
Lean Startup Top 5 Myths


Myth 2 The Lean Startup methodology
is only for Web 2.0, Internet and
consumer software companies.


The Lean Startup methodology applies
to all companies that face
uncertainty about what customers will
want.
Lean Startup Top 5 Myths



Myth 3 Lean Startups are
bootstrapped startups.


What differentiates them is their
disciplined approach to determining
when to spend money.
Lean Startup Top 5 Myths



Myth 4 Lean Startups are very small
companies


Established companies have as
much to gain from lean startup
techniques as the mythical “two guys
in a garage”
Lean Startup Top 5 Myths

Myth 5 Lean Startups replace vision
with data or customer feedback


Lean Startups are driven by a
compelling vision, and they are
rigorous about testing each element
of this vision against reality.
