Lean Startup is NOT

                        Cheap Startup

                         Fast Startup

                       Shortcut Startup
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
Lean Startup is...

     An approach for building companies that are
     creating new products and services in
     situations of extreme uncertainty.


     The approach advocates creating small
     products that test the entrepreneur’s
     assumptions, and using customer feedback to
     evolve the product, thereby reducing waste.


© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
1.    List your assumptions.
          2.    Understand your customers.
          3.    Experiment efficiently.
          4.    Adjust direction based on evidence.

Lean Startup advocates experiments & learning

This will change
                          how you think
                         about your role,
                         your work, your
                       team, your process.

Principles for Lean Startup Teams
           1. Team first, then product.
           2. PM + Dev + UX = 1 Product Team
           3. Work out loud.
           4. Make processes repeatable, then routine.
           5. Don’t get stuck in your happy place.
           6. Invest in clarifying the problem.
           7. Drive toward goals and measure outcomes.
           8. Ideas are cheap. Have a lot of them.
           9. Decide quickly. Hold decisions lightly.
           10. Don’t carry the past.

Team first,
                              then product
               • Not just who’s on the team, but how
                       they work together (no ninjas, gurus,
                       rockstars!)

               • Invest time in developing productive
                       relationships

               • Not just who’s on the team, but how
                       they work together (no ninjas, gurus,

               • Invest time in developing productive
                       relationships

               • Continuous process improvement

© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
Why does this matter to
                   Lean Startups?
               • Most of your decisions as a team, as
                       a company, will be wrong.

               • Flexible teams can solve almost any
                       problem.

               • A trusting team wastes little       time on
                       pettiness, hurt feelings, arguments


© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
Lean Startup teams believe in...
   (from Lean Manufacturing and Extreme Programming)


                       Simplicity
                       Courage
                       Trust
                       Process
                       Continuous Improvement




© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
The Influence of Agile

    “The courage to speak truths,
    pleasant or unpleasant, fosters
    communication and trust.

    “The courage to discard failing
    solutions and seek new ones
    encourages simplicity.

    “The courage to seek real,
    concrete answers creates
    feedback.”


© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
If you get the
                       team right, you’ll
                        find your way to
                       the right product.

Pandora-Style Planning
    •     Whole company (up to 6 ppl), every 60 or 90 days.

    •     Ahead of the meeting, everyone submits requests to the CEO/
          CTO, with the prompt “We would be stupid not to…”

    •     Submit each idea as a slide, with a headline and a few bullet
          points to explain.

    •     70-100 items. CEO/CTO de-duplicates and assigns a $-value that
          represents the amount of effort

    •     “Dollars” are created in an amount that represents current
          capaticy, divided equally among the 6 participants.

    •     Day-long working session to “shop” for the most important items.

    •     Chuck the unfunded. Group the fully funded, nearly funded,
          radically under-funded.

    •     Discuss and bargain until you have a set of fully funded items.

Icebox Zero
        • User stories go stale after 60 days.
        • Rewrite as high-level objectives and put
              those into the 60-day planning process.

        • When the high-level objectives are
              “funded”, rewrite the stories...better,
              stronger, more relevant, based on
              newest learning and metrics.

  • 41. Tom Conrad Grew Pandora from 10 people to IPO © LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
  • 46. Pandora-Style Planning • Whole company (up to 6 ppl), every 60 or 90 days. • Ahead of the meeting, everyone submits requests to the CEO/ CTO, with the prompt “We would be stupid not to…” • Submit each idea as a slide, with a headline and a few bullet points to explain. • 70-100 items. CEO/CTO de-duplicates and assigns a $-value that represents the amount of effort • “Dollars” are created in an amount that represents current capaticy, divided equally among the 6 participants. • Day-long working session to “shop” for the most important items. • Chuck the unfunded. Group the fully funded, nearly funded, radically under-funded. • Discuss and bargain until you have a set of fully funded items. © LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
  • 49. WHICH LEADS US TO Icebox Zero © LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
  • 50. Icebox Zero • User stories go stale after 60 days. • Rewrite as high-level objectives and put those into the 60-day planning process. • When the high-level objectives are “funded”, rewrite the stories...better, stronger, more relevant, based on newest learning and metrics. © LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
