Those Agile methods that you apply to the development cycle don’t just work for the production of code. According to Eric Ries, serial inventor and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Harvard Business School, you can iterate your way to a business model, learning from your mistakes as you go.
Ries invented the term “Lean Startup” to refer a way of designing a business model through continuous prototyping, rather than meticulous planning. “Using the latest technology, a lean startup can create product prototypes in weeks and months, not years, and use customer feedback to evolve them in near-real time,” Ries said in 2009. “Releases are measured in minutes and hours, not days andweeks.” The intention is to release often, measure everything and learn quickly.
