Workshop lean startup

This document provides an agenda and overview for a workshop on using the Lean Canvas methodology. It introduces Lean Startup principles like Build-Measure-Learn and explains the Lean Canvas tool as a one-page document to capture a business model by focusing on problems, solutions, key metrics, and competitive advantages. The workshop agenda covers introducing Lean Startup and the Lean Canvas, having participants create their own Lean Canvas, and discussing risks. It then walks through how to fill out each section of the Lean Canvas and provides examples. The workshop concludes with having participants get feedback on their canvas and discussing next steps and additional resources.

An Introduction to Lean Canvas

Vithushan Vijayaratnam

The document introduces Lean Canvas, an adaptation of the Business Model Canvas that provides a quicker way for startups to conceptualize ideas without a lengthy business plan. It outlines 9 components of the Lean Canvas - problem, customer segments, unique value proposition, solution, channels, revenue streams, cost structure, key metrics, and unfair advantage - that help startups validate their business model through customer interviews and an iterative process of building, measuring, and learning. The goal is to spend 15-20 minutes capturing the initial idea on paper and test it through multiple iterations to find a winning business model before expending significant resources on something customers may not want.

Workshop MVP

Center For Entrepreneurial Innovation

This document outlines an agenda for a workshop on building minimum viable products (MVPs). It defines an MVP as the smallest product that allows testing in a build-measure-learn loop. MVPs help start learning quickly without wasting resources on unnecessary features. The document discusses different MVP types, including video, landing page, concierge, wizard of oz, and single feature MVPs. It prompts identifying a product's target customers, problems, and unique value propositions. The workshop involves group work and presentations on developing an MVP for testing key questions and goals in upcoming weeks.

It discusses hypotheses about problems, customers, and products and testing them through problem exploration, concierge services, and product pitches. An example of Airbnb's photography program MVP tests improving signups through professional photos is provided. The lean startup process of listing assumptions, prioritizing tests, measuring without bias, getting feedback, and repeating is outlined. Mistakes from past rounds like not solving problems that matter and not getting the right feedback are noted. Resources for further learning lean startup approaches are listed.

Session 2 fall 2014

sahlinas

The document discusses the Lean Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas tools for startups. It explains that these tools help startups focus on understanding customer problems and developing solutions to those problems, rather than wasting time on full business plans. The Lean Canvas is used to map out key aspects of a startup idea including the customer segments, problems, solution, unique value proposition, channels, revenue streams, and costs. Understanding the customer's "jobs to be done" as well as their pains and gains is essential. The value proposition should communicate how the solution creates value by addressing these customer needs. Examples are provided and a workshop is outlined to help validate hypotheses.

Lean Startup Basics

Steven Joseph Balliano

The Lean Startup method teaches companies to test assumptions through experiments, measure progress, and make decisions based on data in order to reduce uncertainty and build sustainable businesses. It draws from lean manufacturing, agile software development, and customer development approaches. Companies use tools like business model canvases, customer interviews, and minimum viable products to test problems and solutions with customers, iterate quickly, and pivot if needed based on experimental results. The goal is to find product-market fit and scale efficiently before running out of resources.

Lean UX principles

Tristan Libersat

This document outlines Lean UX principles and processes. Some key points: - Lean UX follows principles of design thinking, agile development, and lean startup to improve user experience through cross-functional collaboration, continuous learning and iteration. - Teams are small, focused on solving one problem at a time through hypothesis-driven experiments rather than predefined features. The goal is to learn from users, not just produce outputs. - The process involves declaring assumptions, creating minimum viable products to test hypotheses, running experiments to get user feedback, and using insights to iterate quickly through small batches. - Personas, user stories and features are defined based on the problem statement and assumptions to guide collaborative design and rapid protot

This document discusses various iterative software development models, including the spiral model, win-win spiral model, and cleanroom methodology. The spiral model is risk-driven and involves iterating through phases of planning, risk assessment, engineering, and evaluation. The win-win spiral model seeks to reconcile stakeholder objectives through negotiation. Cleanroom methodology emphasizes technical reviews, incremental development, and testing to reduce defects. Alternative models like hacking are also discussed for low-risk or disposable projects. Overall, the iterative models attempt to address limitations of the traditional waterfall model by incorporating feedback loops, prototyping, and incremental delivery.

Introduction to the Business Model Canvas

This document introduces the Business Model Canvas tool, which uses nine building blocks to define a business model. The nine blocks are customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure. The aim is to explore each block and how they work together to create and deliver value to customers. Testing assumptions with potential customers is recommended before building products or services.
