1. The Lean Startup
Methodology

2. “Startup Success can be engineered by following the
process, which means it can be learned, which
means it can be taught”
- Eric Ries

3. “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.”

4. Eliminate Uncertainty
• “Using the Lean Startup approach, companies can
create order not chaos by providing tools to test a
vision continuously.”
• Lean isn't simply about spending less money. Lean
isn't just about failing fast, failing cheap. It is about
putting a process, a methodology around the
development of a product.

5. Work Harder Not Smarter
The Lean Startup methodology has as a
premise that every startup is a grand
experiment that attempts to answer a question.
The question is not "Can this product be built?"
Instead, the questions are "Should this product
be built?" and "Can we build a sustainable
business around this set of products and
services?

6. Develop an MVP
A core component of Lean Startup methodology is the
build-measure-learn feedback loop. The first step is
figuring out the problem that needs to be solved and
then developing a minimum viable product (MVP) to
begin the process of learning as quickly as possible.
Once the MVP is established, a startup can work on
tuning the engine.
