Lean Startup
“Lean startup aims to shorten product development cycles – fail fast and focus on what the customer wants – it’s about the pivot
– “this is achieved by adopting a combination of business-hypothesis-driven experimentation, iterative product releases, and validated learning.” — Wikipedia
Globally, 90% of startups fail (Forbes) and the number one reason is market failure: “They make products no one wants.” (Fortune).
