But by taking advantage of open source, agile software, and iterative development, lean startups can operate with much less waste. So far, I have found "lean startup" works better with the entrepreneurs Ive talked to than "agile startup" or even "extreme startup.") Of course, many startups are capital efficient and generally frugal.
In the last few years Agile and “ContinuousDeployment” has replaced Waterfall and transformed how companies big and small build products. Agile is a tremendous advance in reducing time, money and wasted product development effort – and in having products better match customer needs. Adobe and Tesla offer two examples.
I spent some time with his company before the conference and discussed ways to get started with continuousdeployment , including my experience introducing it at IMVU. Moreover, approaching the problem from the direction that I had intuitively is a recipe for never reaching a point where continuousdeployment is feasible.
If youre trying to design an architecture to maximize agility, how can that work if some people are working in TDD and others not? And what about if deployment takes forever? For example, how are you going to explain that component drive architecture like.NET isn't going to work for cross platform open open source businessmodels?
I hope to show why lean and agile techniques actually reduce the negative impacts of technical debt and increase our ability to take advantage of its positive effects. Just as a business incurs some debt to take advantage of a market opportunity developers may incur technical debt to hit an important deadline.
What matters is proving the viability of the company’s businessmodel, what investors call “traction.&# Of course this is not at all true of many profitable small businesses, but they are not what I mean by startups.) Go on an agile diet quickly. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.

Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.
One way to conceive of our goal in an early-stage venture is to incrementally “fill in the blanks&# for the businessmodel that we think will one day power our startup. For example, say that your businessmodel calls for a 4% conversion rate – as ours did initially at IMVU. Expo SF (May.
It uses principles of agile software development, open source and web 2.0, and lean manufacturing to guide the creation of technology businesses that create disruptive innovation.

What differentiates them is their disciplined approach to determining when to spend money: after the fundamental elements of the businessmodel have been empirically validated.

Struggling to explain the successes and failures of those companies, I discussed principles like continuousdeployment, customer development, and a hyper-accelerated form of agile. These businessmodel assumptions are then ripe for testing, measuring and iterating upon. It's a big tent.
Many startups don’t innovate at all in the product dimension, but use other kinds of innovation: repurposing an existing technology for a new use, devising a new businessmodel that unlocks value that was previously hidden, or even simply bringing a product or service to a new location or set of customers previously underserved.
We have to continually invent new categories of products, new platforms, and new businessmodels – all extremely risky bets. We have to continually invent new categories of products, new platforms, and new businessmodels – all extremely risky bets. Expo SF (May.
They didn’t validate their businessmodel before investing so much in it and under-estimated the “last mile” problem. Here are a few pointers: Have your developers use agile development – they will love you for it. Real world example: WebVan vs Zappos. Contrast this to Zappos. Can it work for an enterprise software company?
In particular, we would cover customer development, continuousdeployment, minimum viable product, and actionable metrics. I love the businessmodel. "Lean Startups" just jumped the shark and became consultingware, like "agile" did. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n.
No businessmodel, either. All my products and ideas focus on early cash and a businessmodel that works from the first day. So, the idea of starting without a businessmodel is good ? It doesn't matter what businessmodel you have thought about, in the early day. And Google? Expo SF (May.

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Monday, September 22, 2008 The three drivers of growth for your businessmodel. The AARRR model (hence pirates, get it?) He also has a discussion of how your choice of businessmodel determines which of these metric areas you want to focus on. Choose one. Expo SF (May.
You have to know your businessmodel. Most startups launch before theyve figured out what business theyre in. Would have been nice to have this last year when I started my own business. A soft launch is a very good test to your businessmodel, and allow you to fix bugs and optimize your products.
With careful and continuous learning processes, SlideShare is inverting that idea and going to market with a validated product. That is the essence of proving the business in micro-scale.
