review:

'The Lean Startup' by Eric Ries is written by someone who has experienced success and failures. The ideas in the book are built upon other methodologies. Clayton Christensen's 'Innovator's Dilemna,Taiichi Ohno's Just-In-Time method at Toyota and Lean Manufacturing.



The approaches and methods are clearly laid out, but it took a couple chapters to settle in. The process defined is a loop comprised of Build-Measure-Learn. The learning process also could involve staying the course or pivoting. There are lots of examples from Eric Ries company as well as others.



It's well written, seems to want be earnestly helpful, and has lots of interesting advice within it's scope. I don't know how useful the methods would be for every industry segment, but I work in the software industry and see things that will help my company to innovate.
