Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Tuesday, September 30, 2008 What does a startup CTO actually do? Often times, it seems like people are thinking its synonymous with "that guy who gets paid to sit in the corner and think technical deep thoughts" or "that guy who gets to swoop in a rearrange my project at the last minute on a whim."
Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Monday, September 8, 2008 The lean startup Ive been thinking for some time about a term that could encapsulate trends that are changing the startup landscape. After some trial and error, Ive settled on the Lean Startup. I like the term because of two connotations: Lean in the sense of low-burn.
kaChing has been very active in the Lean Startup movement. If you havent seen it, Pascals recent presentation on continuousdeployment is a must-see; slides are here. With case studies like this, we aim to illustrate specific Lean Startup techniques through the stories of current practitioners. Which is a nice story.
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.
Maybe youd like to start with The lean startup , How to listen to customers , or What does a startup CTO actually do? ) Eventually, I came to summarize these themes with the phrase " the lean startup." Lean is one of the major trends shaping our world, and its impact goes beyond just optimizing our supply chains.
Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Monday, September 15, 2008 The one line split-test, or how to A/B all the time Split-testing is a core lean startup discipline, and its one of those rare topics that comes up just as often in a technical context as in a business-oriented one when Im talking to startups.

One major theory that has influenced the way I think about processes comes from Lean Manufacturing , where they use these same techniques to build cars.

But if you want to practice rapid deployment, you need to be able to deploy that build in one step as well. If you want to do continuousdeployment, youd better be able to certify that build too, which brings us to. For more on continuousdeployment, see Just-in-time Scalability. Youd better.

And we cant hire new engineers any faster, because you cant be interviewing and debugging and fixing all at the same time! Even with the highest standards imaginable, theres no way to hire just genius hackers. This is one of the bedrock practices of any lean startup , and so its a common piece of advice I give out.

In this model, you take some fraction of the lifetime value of each customer and plow that back into paid acquisition through SEM, banner ads, PR, affiliates, etc. Beware the new hire who has "extensive experience" in startups or big companies - using a different growth driver.

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Monday, June 22, 2009 Pivot, dont jump to a new vision In a lean startup , instead of being organized around traditional functional departments, we use a cross-functional problem team and solution team. Thats not the goal of a lean startup. As the CTO/VP Engineering, I was the worst offender.

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Sunday, September 28, 2008 The lean startup comes to Stanford Im going to be talking about lean startups (and the IMVU case in particular) three times in the next two weeks at Stanford. Labels: events , lean startup 5comments: Hitchens said. The Lean Startup Intensive is tomorrow at Web 2.0.
At IMVU, when wed hire a new engineer, we could get them to ship code to production on their first day, even if they had never programmed in PHP before. Which makes them exactly the kind of programmers companies should want to hire. In my role as a CTO, Ive always tried to choose the right tool for the right job.
