Q

Enumeration: How the Lean Startup Works

A
  1. Identify the beliefs about what must be true in order for the startup to succeed.
  2. Create an experiment to test those assumptions as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
  3. Think like a scientist. Treat each experiment as an opportunity to learn what’s working and
    what’s not.
  4. Take the learning from each experiment and start the loop over again.
  5. On a regular schedule (cadence), make a decision about whether to make a change in strategy (pivot) or stay the course (persevere).
