Angel Day 2013 - Lean Startup: How to get business value earlier with less risks

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The myth goes that the more perseverance, brilliance, good timing and a good product, the higher the chance for success. I will show you why exactly the opposite is true: Survival and, even more so, success are highly correlated with the successful application of the "Build-Measure-Learn Feedback Loop". The fact that this lean framework can be learned and taught is the final kill of the myth. I will give examples of how you can deliver more business value earlier and with less risks by testing everything as soon as possible using a so-called Minimum Viable Product.
