Lean Startup Circle London. The Lean Startup | Methodology. “Startup success can be engineered by following the process, which means it can be learned, which means it can be taught.”- Eric Ries The Lean Startup provides a scientific approach to creating and managing startups and get a desired product to customers' hands faster.

The Lean Startup method teaches you how to drive a startup-how to steer, when to turn, and when to persevere-and grow a business with maximum acceleration. It is a principled approach to new product development. Too many startups begin with an idea for a product that they think people want. They then spend months, sometimes years, perfecting that product without ever showing the product, even in a very rudimentary form, to the prospective customer.

Crafting good hypotheses for your startup is hard.1 Most people focus on solutions rather than problems. That leads to a ton of products getting launched with zero traction.; the all-too-common “solutions looking for problems.”5 A good hypothesis is important because it leads to good experimental design. Good experimental design is important because you need it to properly validate or invalidate what you’re doing. A good hypothesis needs to be written down.1 It’s amazing how few people to do it, but the simple exercise of writing things down is significant.

Just do it. Try structuring your hypotheses this way: “I (or We) believe…” Finish that statement and see what comes out of it. Here’s an example of a hypothesis I might have for NextMontreal (which is primarily a content site on startup news for Montreal): “I believe that U.S. The basic structure is this: I believe [target market] will [do this action / use this solution] for [this reason].

I’ve only just completed Eric Ries book, ‘The Lean Startup’, that was published to much acclaim last year.

I already have a bookshelf full of these kinds of book, most of them unread beyond the initial chapter.

But now I’ve read it I think that it should be obligatory reading for any UX person.

UX practitioners have a lot to contribute to this way of working but I wanted particularly to focus on the item I’ve numbered 4 in the list above: iterative design and testing.

These techniques have three things in common. The three methods I want to discuss are: Lean_startup_for_final_post. LeanStartup.
