Lean startup way• Culture: Success can be engineered, learned, taught• Pre-requisites: Transparency, trust and courage• Method: Choose right metrics, learn fast with short
feedback loop, agile development• Goal: MVP asap and minimize cycle time• Characteristics
• Handle all nine dimensions of Business Model Canvas• Every relevant aspect (product features, marketing campaign
….) is worth an experiment (hypothesis and verification)

What is a start up?
• Human institution designed to create new products and services under condition of extreme uncertainty. (Eric Ries)
• A Start up is a temporary organization in search of a scalable, repeatable business model Steve Blank
• BM must be found before you run out of money >> Efficient searching required
• Conclusion: apply scientific methods to search with short feedback loops to validate hypothesis

Minimal Viable Product (Wikipedia)
The minimum viable product is that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort.
An MVP is not a minimal product, it is a strategy and process directed toward making and selling a product to customers.

Smart statements (from Blank and
Ries)
• Start up don’t fail because they have no product but because they lack customers• Get out of the building• Don’t be afraid to be embarrassed when
customers see your product for the first time, you will be embarrassed anyway

History of lean management
• After WW2 Lean management (Toyota) revolutionized manufacturing
