About this listen

The missing manual on how to apply Lean Startup to build products that customers love.

The Lean Product Playbook is a practical guide to building products that customers love. Whether you work at a start-up or a large, established company, we all know that building great products is hard. Most new products fail. This book helps improve your chances of building successful products through clear, step-by-step guidance and advice.

The Lean Startup movement has contributed new and valuable ideas about product development and has generated lots of excitement. However, many companies have yet to successfully adopt Lean thinking. Despite their enthusiasm and familiarity with the high-level concepts, many teams run into challenges when trying to adopt Lean, because they feel like they lack specific guidance on what exactly they should be doing.

If you are interested in Lean Startup principles and want to apply them to develop winning products, this audiobook is for you. This book describes the Lean Product Process: a repeatable, easy-to-follow methodology for iterating your way to product-market fit. It walks you through how to:

  • Determine your target customers
  • Identify underserved customer needs
  • Create a winning product strategy
  • Decide on your Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
  • Design your MVP prototype
  • Test your MVP with customers
  • Iterate rapidly to achieve product-market fit

This book was written by entrepreneur and Lean product expert Dan Olsen, whose experience spans product management, UX design, coding, analytics, and marketing across a variety of products. As a hands-on consultant, he refined and applied the advice in this book as he helped many companies improve their product processes and build great products. His clients include Facebook, Box, Hightail, Epocrates, and Medallia.

Entrepreneurs, executives, product managers, designers, developers, marketers, analysts, and anyone who is passionate about building great products will find The Lean Product Playbook an indispensable resource.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

You immediately agree with it and it all makes sense. However it amazing how actual products teams fail in following these ideas. Serves as a compass you can take with you...

As a product manager, this was one of the most useful books I've ever read.

Powerful

the book is packed with extremely useful notes. however, the book was quite sense and the stories told in it were quite uninteresting. Highly recommended for people looking for a punch of knowledge, but be ready to have to study them closely as they're not easy to relate to due to the lack of storytelling

useful but dense

I liked lean startup but needed this book to show me some of the practical stuff. Greatly appreciated.
Audiobook is good. But wanted to have a physical copy to go back to so I've ordered one.

Practical and specific

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

but if you already have done agile projects, and read Lean Startup this will mostly be a reminder.

Good entry book to lean development

This book is very prescriptive. Gives entrepreneurs a step by step guide for moving from idea phase to product market fit.
The methodology is clearly explained. The only thing that I wish it would emphasize more is that the skills required means that product/service development is a team sport. Too many times we see individuals attempting to do it all themselves.

Great book to get you started on the right path!

Amazing

This was really amazing and helpful. I highly recommend everyone in or trying to get in Product Management role must listen to this.

Awesome!

the book was overall helpful in teaching lean product method. at times it was dry as you're trying to cram a lot of info the narrator is giving. it would help if they repeat some of the acronyms as there were many to remember to save listener from having to rewind often. overall, though it was thorough and understandable

overall great book but can be dry at times
