Which practices belong to the lean-startup method?
Hints
- The method treats the business plan as a set of hypotheses.
- Long secret development is the pattern it was designed against.
Show the answer
- B. Shipping a minimum viable product to real users early
- C. Pivoting when evidence contradicts the hypothesis
- D. Measuring actual behavior instead of stated intentions
Why
Build, measure, learn, the plan is a stack of hypotheses and the market is the lab. The three-year stealth perfection is the anti-pattern: maximum spend before the first fact arrives.
