Welcome To Lean Startup

Project Management

Page 3: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

In This Presentation,

A Lean Startup

Refers To

“A human institution or lean innovation designed to create

a new product, service, or organization under conditions of extreme uncertainty”

The above is a combination of Eric Ries’s definition of a “startup” and “lean startup.”

See Eric Ries’s book, “The Lean Startup”

Page 4: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

For

Readers and Practitioners

Of

Eric Ries’s “The Lean Startup”

Lean Startup is a trademark and service mark owned by Eric Ries. www.theleanstartup.com

Page 5: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

As Long As There is

Competition

And

External Forces,

There is Risk That

A Project’s Vision

Will Not Be Achieved

Page 6: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

The Lean Startup Methodology

Can Be Used

To Increase the Odds of Success

In

Every Risky Project

On

The Planet

Page 7: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

Too Many and Disparate Tools Are Being Used

To Organize Ideas And

Manage Risks Especially in

Lean Startup Projects

HOWEVER, … A PROBLEM

Too Many Silos

Page 8: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

Existing Tools For Organizing Ideas And Managing Risks

In Lean Startup Projects Focus

On An Operational Perspective And Neglect

Strategic and Visionary Perspectives

A FURTHER PROBLEM

Single Level Approach to Lean Startup Project Management (LSPM)

Page 9: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

Weak collaboration between users of disparate tools

Slow learning and poor knowledge transfer: Inadequate communication and sharing of knowledge between users of disparate tools in high risk (Lean Startup) projects

Higher project costs involving practitioners of disparate tools

Inefficiency in decision-making: too much or too little information for personnel at a given level of management: leaders, managers/ strategists, and operators in high risk (Lean Startup) projects

Weak connection to bodies of knowledge in other domains: e.g., business strategy, innovation, and performance management

Indirect and slow translation, into reality, of principles and ideas in Eric Ries’s book, “The Lean Startup”

Increase in risk of project failure

CONSEQUENCES …

‘Where There Is No Vision, The People Perish’

Page 10: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

The One-Page Lean Startup Can Be Used As A Single

(Multilevel) Dashboard For Collaboratively Documenting,

Organizing, and Managing Ideas and Risks In

All Lean Startup Projects

A SOLUTION …

Multilevel Approach to Lean Startup Project Management (LSPM)

Page 11: Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organized, and Executed Lean Startup Projects

A P

The One-Page Lean Startup

Provides a

Universal Framework and Language

For Visually Integrating as Well as

Facilitating

The Use of Disparate Tools In

Business and Project Management
