Life's Too Short to Build Something Nobody Wants
We're building more products today than ever before, but most of them fail—not because we can't complete what we want to build but because we waste time, money, and effort building the wrong product. What we need is a systematic process for quickly vetting product ideas and raising our odds of success. That's the promise of Running Lean.
In this inspiring book, Ash Maurya takes you through an exacting strategy for achieving product/market fit for your fledgling venture. You'll learn ideas and concepts from several innovative methodologies, including the Lean Startup, business model design, design thinking, and jobs-to-be-done. This new edition introduces the continuous innovation framework and follows one entrepreneur's journey from initial vision to a business model that works completely revamped recipes for conducting effective customer interviews..

- Break your journey to product/market fit using measurable milestones charted on a traction roadmap
- Maximize your team’s efforts for speed, learning, and focus
- Prioritize the right actions at the right time using evidence and data
- Run customer development before product development to uncover big enough problems worth solving
- Learn how to conduct effective problem interviews to define and sell your MVP before building it
- Engage your customers throughout the product development cycle
- Continually test your product hypotheses with small, fast iterations
- Find a repeatable and scalable business model
