- 11. We have purposefully deployed: • Poorly designed features • Inflexible, short-sighted code • Half-done features • Known bugs • Crappy code with major performance issues
- 12. Measure Faster • Funnels & Cohort Analysis (KISSmetrics) • Feedback (NPS, Surveys, KISSinsights) • Usability Testing (UserTesting, Mockups, etc...) • Split Tests (A/B Testing) (KISSmetrics + Internal) “ It's about changing customer behavior -- for the better.” Eric Ries, The Lean Startup

- 14. Learn Faster • Fake it till you make it (Smoke Tests) • Five Whys Root Cause Analysis • Falsifiable Hypotheses • Customer Development (Customer Interviews) “ Customer Development will help you – force you – to make better decisions based on tested hypotheses, rather than untested assumptions.” The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Customer Development, CustDev.com

- Introduce myself.
- I don’t know a single entrepreneur who would disagree with this statement. And many of you know, I know a lot of entrepreneurs...
- I’ve failed a lot and I want to fail faster and fail smaller. By now, everyone knows that successful startups are a series of “failures”. You can’t succeed without trying a lot of things that don’t work.
- In this picture everyone is out of the building talking to customers or...
- Talking to one of these guys... Jokes aside, I am humbled to have these guys involved with KISSmetrics. I won’t talk about them, since you all probably know of them. Personally, I’ve learned a lot from them about startups and entrepreneurship.
- Sean Ellis and his 3 stages of a startup Metrics of success are different. Reminds us where we are and our success metrics...
- AARRR!!! Dave McClure’s pirate metrics. Helps you frame key areas of your business based on a customer’s lifecycle. Helps determine the tactics you should be thinking about. We use this for idea generation.
- And of course, Eric’s lean startup graphic. It’s all about validated learning about customers... So we can build something a LOT of people want to buy.
- So now i’ll go into our story at KISSmetrics on how we think of Building, measuring and learning faster....
- Have the ability to ship code all day, every day. This leads to faster, more measurable iterations...
- This has resulted in sub-par, sub-optimized code. But our customers don’t care, in fact they are delighted by our daily iterations. Customer’s don’t care how awful the code is and you shouldn’t either. Remember, it’s about getting validated learnings...
- Here are some key areas and tools we use for measuring our business. Idea is to focus on a few key pieces of data at any given time. Here is one way we do that...
- We came up with a model for our business. We then establish our actual baseline which became our macro metrics. Find the riskiest assumptions in your model and macro metrics. And attack them...
- Learning is all about testing your assumptions. Put up landing pages, added navigation, whatever it takes... To get validated learnings about customers. Learn about the key risks in your model.
- We always try to write down our hypothesis, so we know what we are trying learn. Question: Is this hypothesis in fact true or not?! Take the least amount of effort to find out... Ex. Orig. hypothesis for KISSinsights...
- The principles of build, measure, learn help us think about how to get answers. The rules of communication and information exchange are much different in a lean startup. The tactical stuff to build, measure and learn faster is one side of things. Now I’m going to talk about the business processes and what we have learned.
- Company is divided into two teams. No sales, marketing, etc... Problem team identifies the most important problems to solve. Solution team finds the minimum solution for each problem. Goal is to go through this cycle continuously.
- Monday - Team meeting to describe most important problems and goals for the week. Metrics + Few tasks, Tuesday. Wednesday - Check in on how are we doing, solutions already getting implemented? What have we learned so far? Friday - Postmortem on learning and peek into next week from the Problem Team. Problem team is 1-week ahead.
- Tool to increase autonomy and communication, focused on our validated learnings driven process. Weekly goal and metrics based on most important problems. Team visibility across all tasks, keep solution team focused on important problems. Provide tools for problem team to identify next things. 5 tasks person, only 1 is active (green-lighted), not in here then not exist, backlog.
- We’ve learned some lessons in our efforts to apply lean startup principles. Here are three key ones.
- Optimizing one area in the BML loop causes bottlenecks in others. Once we implemented the infrastructure to build faster, we then increased our ability to discover customer problems. But didn’t have a good process for organizing and finding solutions. Once we had that, we started discovering a lot about our team...
- They became more accountable. Team members started “policing” themselves. One of our engineers likes to get himself in a hole and just code for days. Doesn’t come up for air and only 50% of time does he produce fantastic results. Our process helped him catch himself and in fact stop before he went on for a long time.
- Quote from our CTO, John. A lot of discipline is required to stay focused on validated learnings. We now focus on iteration based on validated learnings instead of perfection. This was really hard, we are a team of perfectionists!
