The Lean Startup
Most new businesses fail. But most of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach to business that’s being adopted around the world.

Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, the Lean Startup approach relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, and a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress, and learn what customers really want.
