                        Cheap Startup

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 entrepreneurʼs
    assumptions, and using customer feedback to
    evolve the product, thereby reducing waste.


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

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. Donʼt 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. Donʼt carry the past.

© LUXR.CO MARCH 2013
Team first,
                          then product
              • Not just whoʼs on the team, but how
                   they work together (no ninjas, gurus,
                   rockstars!)

              • Invest time in developing productive
                   relationships

                   relationships

              • Continuous process improvement

© LUXR.CO MARCH 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.

              • Respectful, trusting team wastes little
                   time on pettiness, gossip, arguments


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


                       Simplicity
                       Courage
                       Trust
                       Process
                       Continuous Improvement

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 MARCH 2013
If you get the
                       team right, you’ll
                        find your way to
                       the right product.

© LUXR.CO MARCH 2013
DESIGN
                       Empathizer-in-Chief
       Understand the customer at an expert level.
       Define and prioritize customer problems.
       Translate high-value needs into product.


       ➡ Design is a strategic problem-solving role,
             not merely an aesthetic role.




© LUXR.CO MARCH 2013
DEVELOPMENT
                   “Raise high the roof”
       Envision the best possible solutions based on
       available technology.
       Match code to problem and desired (ie,
       measurable) outcomes.


       ➡ Developer is a creative and experimentation
             role, as well as an execution role



© LUXR.CO MARCH 2013
PM & BUSINESS
                       Scales of Justice
       Identify the business the value in customer needs.
       Make fast, concrete decisions despite inadequate
       evidence and conflicting priorities.


       ➡ Decison-making is a service role, not an
             ownership role




© LUXR.CO MARCH 2013
When things go wrong, thereʼs no one to
            blame but ourselves...and thatʼs okay.

When to use this model
       ➡ DO use this model when developing a new
             product in situations of extreme uncertainty
             (ie, successive failures are likely)


       ➡ DO NOT use this model when you need to defer
             failure risk onto an external party (ie, in
             professional services)

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.

Discuss Design Without Losing Your Mind by Adam Connor, has 59 slides with 12141 views.This is an updated version of Discussing Design: The Art of Critique. We’ve all struggled at times in sharing our designs with teammates and stakeholders and collecting feedback on them. The comments we receive can seem to more about personal preference or indicate some misalignment of goals and vision for the project. Our ability to critique and to facilitate critique with others speaks directly to the quality of these conversations. Designers frequently complain about the quality and uselessness of the feedback they are given, but we rarely take a step back and examine how to collect useful feedback and make our discussions around our designs more productive. With this talk we look deeper into the various aspects of critique, not just as an activity for collecting feedback, but as a key skill in our ability to communicate and collaborate. We examine the language, rules and strategies for critique and provide participants with takeaways that can immediately be put to work to create a useful, collaborative environment for discussing designs.

  • 60. 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 MARCH 2013

  • 64. 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 MARCH 2013
