The digital revolution is disrupting the traditional businessmodel for small and medium businesses (SMBs). by Humberto Farias, CEO and co-founder at Concepta. Buzzwords like data science, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics are being used by big companies with the ability to invest.
Said McClure,”We worship at the altar of ‘ lean ‘ a little too much when really we should just be running our businesses. Scrum and large group discussions can be useful during the customer discovery phase of the business, but decisions should be based on what’s driving customers as opposed to the subjective.
LESSON #1: Equip your business with a portfolio map and a 21st century org chart. With industries from banking to transportation being transformed and, in some instances, undermined by new businessmodels and technology, executives are smart to wonder, “Are we next?”
I would add -- think of your development and running your business like a PM/Developer uses Agile or Scrum in software development. Paring down products, target customers, businessmodels etc takes courage, but it must be done to have any chance of success. No more, no less. September 15, 2008 9:19 PM James said.
One commonly used approach is to identify widely felt “pain points” in the target market; build a workable solution to address them using particularly effective or efficient means; and if the businessmodel pencils out, work like crazy to execute, execute, execute.
20 % of the project managers are familiar with Scrum, but there are very few product managers – less than 1% of all. Of course, the hiring needs vary a lot and are dependent on the businessmodel, but a skills gap analysis reveals that more product managers, programmers, and sales and marketing experts will be needed in the near future.
In the same vein, because not as many entrepreneurs in Los Angeles worked at companies like Google or Facebook, a lot of them have not really gotten the training they need to properly communicate requirements, run a scrum, or conduct A/B testing.

For example, IMVU’s early businessmodel was made possible by Paypal’s easy self-serve and open access payment system. Darn good - I have struggled in relevant conversations with our in house move to scrum/agile. July 30, 2009 1:29 PM jkorotney said. Things like "where is the design time?"
For many years, as teams move to Agile methods (they usually start with Scrum), many companies decide to contract with or hire an Agile Coach. The main difference is that Lean Startup Coaches often focus on helping a team to discover not only their product, but also their businessmodel, and their sales and marketing strategy.
For example: full-fledged SCRUM, heavyweight tools like Jira, or hiring a project manager or engineering manager. Introducing bureaucracy into this environment is almost guaranteed to block you from doing what you’re really supposed to be doing, which is pivoting in search of your scalable businessmodel.
