Clearly worth the listening this book.

To me everything else in the book was encapsulated inside of getting an MVP out there and commencing the iteration process. Reading this book and then Moore's "Crossing The Chasm" immediately after has greatly deepened my marketing insights.I also think that having basic business management and marketing theory prior to reading these books will increase the value of these books.

The ideas I find most useful are pivots.

The ideas I find most useful are pivots, and quick-feedback learning through minimally viable products, which work in some environments and would be very hard to make work in other situations, nevertheless there are kernels of extremely powerful ideas here. The ideas of a learning organization and the five whys are genuinely helpful twists on old ideas which Jennifer appropriately credits.

Book's lessons are as applicable to established.

Although the true worth of a book on finance or entrepreneurship is if the reader actually uses the information for their own gain, this is the first book on business and entrepreneurship that made sense to me. It has many specific ideas but it all comes down to using the scientific method every step of the way in a start up. This explains why the endless fears of "most businesses fail" and "entrepreneurship is too risky" exist. Most people, even big businesses function under false assumptions.

Not just for entrepreneurs!

Awesome book not only for startups, but applications for any company. I use these thought processes even though I work for a Fortune 500 consumer goods company. The startup mentality isn't only for entrepreneurs, but just the entrepreneurial minded. I don't have any worthwhile ideas to start a company, but i like to think I have that entrepreneurial spirit!

Not news if you are running a successful business.

If you are a small business owner then none of what this book covers comes as any great surprise. In essence keep costs down, continue to innovate and succeed through small increments. Such ideas are clearly novel to many larger businesses these days who have lost the reason for their existence. That is, to serve the customer.

Loved it, but I wish it covered extra.

This book goes over how a startup or development group in a larger org can do experiments to see what customer's perceive as adding value. I love the philosophical start about how in the past people knew we needed to produce more, but the modern industrialized world has more than enough products and services, so the trick is to work out what people want.

Fresh ideas on entrepreneurship.

This book was one of the key strategies we are going to use. This book doesn't dive deep into getting the right hypothesis; for that I recommend "Tuned In" (another book). It's complementary to this (my view).

Five Whys the Biggest Takeaway From This Book

This book is a startup phenomenon and has almost become required reading for any startup founders. That being said, it is most useful for software startups and is significantly less useful for biotech and other life science startups. In our industry it is not possible to release a 'quick and dirty' product to test on a subset of customers because we have to abide by regulatory rules and laws.

A reason-based approach

This book introduces a new and more effective approach to developing a startup business. It includes examples showing how the theoretical principles can be applied to real-life situations and what are the consequences of not applying them. The theory contained in the book provides the means of steering a small company towards success by properly acquiring and utilizing relevant knowledge.

Makes his case well, easy read.

I can see why James Edge is getting so much traction with the Lean Startup concept. He's a good evangelist for the approach, and the ideas and case studies illustrate the system well. He also points to a variety of other useful resources late in the book. It's more like a resource for entrepreneurs than a textbook but I can imagine some places also using it for that purpose.
