Lean Startup is NOT
Cheap Startup
Fast Startup
Shortcut Startup
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
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.

This will change how you think
about your role, your work, your
team, your process.
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
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.
Principles for Lean Startup Teams
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
Team first, then product
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
• 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, rockstars!)
• Invest time in developing productive relationships
• Continuous process improvement
Team first, then product
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
• 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
Why does this matter to Lean Startups?
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
Lean Startup teams believe in...(from Lean Manufacturing and Extreme Programming)
SimplicityCourageTrust ProcessContinuous Improvement
© LUXR.CO APRIL 2013
“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.”
The Influence of Agile

• 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.

• 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.
