The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses by Eric RiesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I actually finished this book a month ago, but didn't know what I thought about the book until I went through it again. Now I know.
The Lean Startup helps startups go from idea to product through experiments that generate validated learning. How is this done? Through a repeated series of steps through the Build - Measure - Learn feedback loop. With the assumptions that are inherent in the product, decide how to test it, build something that tests it through the minimum viable product (MVP). The goal is to learn as quickly as possible, adjusting and moving along to experience growth. Eventually the next step becomes to accelerate and grow.
There is a lot of useful information in the book, but a lot of it has to be weeded out through the endless stories of Ries' experience. While it is great to be able to one's share experience and learning, in this case it gets to be a bit too much. Read it and be prepared to learn a lot, but you need to weed out a bunch too.
