The Lean Startup: Smarter, Faster Decisions in a Risk-Filled World.

The Lean Startup movement is spreading across companies of all sizes—whether fresh startups or established giants—with one essential mission: to help entrepreneurs and managers make smarter, faster business decisions. Not just slightly better decisions, but radically more effective ones.

By combining the principles of lean manufacturing with the speed of agile development, the Lean Startup methodology transforms the way organizations innovate. It offers a framework for thriving in today’s risk-heavy, fast-changing business environment. This book shows you how.

Eric Ries, author of the widely read blog Startup Lessons Learned and creator of the Lean Startup methodology, developed these ideas through experience. He co-founded and led IMVU, his third startup, which grew to over 40 million users and more than $22 million in revenue by 2009.

As an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Harvard Business School and a sought-after speaker at global conferences, Ries has advised countless startups on business strategy and product development—always guided by the Lean Startup approach.
