12. Goals of Lean Startup
• Open your gates (go live) as early as possible
• The product that you offer when going live should
be the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
• Not to mix with minimum product!
• Then learn and improve your product
15. … and usually don’t do
• Product Vision
• Validate product vision with user research
• Get more insights from target groups
• Try different concepts for the MVP
• MVP Development
• Go Live
• Learn and Adapt
17. A Mud Hole is not a good
MVP
• There has to be one strong reason to walk your
field:
• it’s more comfortable to walk (better usability)
• it’s a shortcut / saves time (save money)
• there is a nice viewpoint with a great sight (wow)
22. Path is customer journey
Divide path into parts that
can be tested in isolation
23. If the path is muddy in the beginning,
nobody will see how great it is at the end
24. Conclusion
• Validate your product vision through user research
• Have a strong reason to use your MVP
• Understand the usage context
• Prototype and test the most critical part of the
customer journey first
• Improve the start of the customer journey first
