23 Lean Startup Insights
A startup is a human institution designed to
create under conditions of extreme uncertainty.
True startup productivity is not just making
more stuff, but systematically figuring out the
right things to build.
The goal of a #leanstartup is to move through
the build-measure-learn feedback loop as
quickly as possible.
The goal of a #leanstartup is to learn what is
valuable to the customer.
Lean thinking defines value as providing benefit
to the customer; anything else is waste.
Leaning is the essential unit of progress for
startups.
Test assumptions you've made about your
business, its customers and how you're serving
them.
Our future prosperity depends on the quality of
our collective imaginations.
The answer to strategic plans being difficult and
disorienting is *not* to rely on chaos.
Our job is to find a synthesis between our
vision and what customers will accept, not just
to capitulate.
Just trying to make the customer happy does
not produce a sustainable business model.
If you don't know what you're testing, all the
results in the world will tell you nothing.
Begin with a clear hypothesis that makes
predictions about what is supposed to happen.
The goal of every startup experiment is to
discover how to build a sustainable business
around the vision.
It's not enough to just give it a whirl; you've got
to give it a whirl with purpose and direction.
Early adopters are those who crave a solution
to the problem you've identified.
Ask yourself: Do consumers recognize that
they have the problem you are trying to solve?
Build not only a product that can sell well, but a
platform through which to deliver it.
If we do not know who the customer is, we do
not know what quality is
The three A's of metrics: actionable, accessible
and auditable.
Vanity metrics allow you to form false
conclusions and live in your own private reality.
Lethargy and bureaucracy are not the
inevitable fate of companies as they achieve
maturity.
Be tolerant of all mistakes the first time, not
don't make allow the same mistake twice.
