  • I hope one lesson learned was to check out the tremor in the camera man before posting. I got jittery just watching. (not to be mean- but constructive)

Minimum Viable Product

  1. Minimum Viable Product#leanstartup<br />Eric Ries (@ericries)<br />http://StartupLessonsLearned.blogspot.com<br />
  2. Why do we build products?<br />Delight customers<br />Get lots of them signed up<br />Make a lot of money<br />Realize a big vision; change the world<br />
  3. Possible Approaches<br />“Maximize chances of success”<br />build a great product with enough features that increase the odds that customers will want it<br />Problem: no feedback until the end, might be too late to adjust<br /> “Release early, release often”<br />Get as much feedback as possible, as soon as possible<br />Problem: run around in circles, chasing what customers think they want<br />
  4. Minimum Viable Product<br />The minimum set of features needed to learn from earlyvangelists – visionary early adopters<br />Avoid building products that nobody wants<br />Maximize the learning per dollar spent<br />Probably much more minimum than you think!<br />
  5. Minimum Viable Product<br />Visionary customers can “fill in the gaps” on missing features, if the product solves a real problem<br />Allows us to achieve a big vision in small increments without going in circles<br />Requires a commitment to iteration<br />
  6. Minimize TOTAL time through the loop<br />IDEAS<br />LEARN<br />BUILD<br />DATA<br />CODE<br />MEASURE<br />
  7. Examples<br />Building IMVU in six months<br />2004 “Kerry vs. Bush avatar debate”<br />Lean Startup workshop<br />VIP link in the header<br />
  8. Product Development at Lean Startup<br />Unit of Progress: Validated Learning About Customers ($$$)<br />Customer Development<br />Hypotheses,<br />Experiments,<br />Insights<br />Problem: unknown<br />Data,<br />Feedback,<br />Insights<br />Solution: unknown<br />
  9. Techniques<br />Smoke testing with landing pages, AdWords<br />SEM on five dollars a day<br />In-product split testing<br />Paper prototypes<br />Customer discovery/validation<br />Removing features (“cut and paste”)<br />
  10. Fears<br />False negative: “customers would have liked the full product, but the MVP sucks, so we abandoned the vision”<br />Visionary complex: “but customers don’t know what they want!”<br />Too busy to learn: “it would be faster to just build it right, all this measuring distracts from delighting customers”<br />
