The Lean Startup

by Eric Ries

Three key ideas

  1. Progress means evidence about a sustainable business, not features shipped or being busy.
  2. Start by asking what you need to learn and which evidence matters. Then build.
  3. An MVP is the smallest suitable way to learn about one specific risky assumption.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Busy is not the same as learning
  2. 2.Plan the learning before the build
  3. 3.The smallest test that still teaches
  4. 4.Numbers that tell you what to do
  5. 5.Pivot or persevere, on purpose

From the comic

Twenty features! My tower now needs its own receptionist.
