The Lean Startup Method
Eric Ries, a young American entrepreneur and ex-software engineer published “The Lean Startup” in 2011. The book is the collective wisdom of the valley and smart folks like Ries and Steve Blank about the purpose of a startup and the methods that help with it most efficiently. It’s because of the explosion of interest in the lean-startup methods that today concepts like “fail-fast”, “MVP”, “pivot” are commonplace. Coupled with lean-concepts and the experimentation afforded by agile methods, the lean-startup techniques improves the chances of success of a startup.
