Editor's Notes

  1. * We all know the biggest risk is no customers * How many people here have done a lean weekend, with multiple experiments to validate you can acquire customers
  2. Sometimes the think your customers are buying is simple. A service, or a product, but sometimes it’s a complex thing that has to be built In this case its harder to validate that what you’re building successfully delivers value to your customers But its no less important! Nothing is worse than valid customers with a problem and not being able to solve their problems.
  3. Design sprints are the solution to this problem – identify a functional MVP Identify product design decisions that we assume as true, that are necessary to deliver value Slower cadence than lean, iterate over about a week Build a very fast – cheap prototype – one day Test with real users. Validate this delivers the value they expect
