What is the principle of the Lean Startup training?

The principle of the Lean Startup training consists of carrying out a successive series of iterations and testing the development of the innovation (products, services, concepts). The main objective is to significantly reduce the development cycle of an innovative project.

Fort de son expérience et pionnier du Design Thinking en France, le studio d’Innovation Schoolab conseille, forme et accompagne les entreprises (Grands groupes, Start-ups,…) notamment avec sa formation Lean Startup. Pour développer de façon efficace un projet d’Innovation en entreprise, le principe consiste à concentrer sa stratégie de façon agile autour de 3 phases d’itération fondamentales :

A pioneer in Design Thinking in France, Schoolab Innovation Studio advises, trains, and supports companies (large corporations, start-ups, etc.), particularly with its Lean Startup training. To effectively develop an innovation project in a company. The principle is to focus its strategy in an agile way around 3 fundamental iteration phases:

  • Learn: seek to improve the user experience of products, services, or innovation concepts.
  • Measure: Functionality measurement is performed to establish the impact on user satisfaction.
  • Build: Exploration of the features to be prototyped and tested to meet user needs.

 

The whole point of the Lean Startup training is to build your innovative product step by step in a fraction of the time. This innovative product is continuously tested to determine if it is necessary to pivot or to persevere.

In any case, the objective of the Lean Startup training is to orient all of its actions with a vision centered on the user at all times. In this way, it becomes possible to highlight only the useful and essential features. As for the non-value-added functionalities, they are removed during the process.

 

Lean Startup: fad or new best practice?

 

Lean Startup is a methodology initially developed in 2008 by the American entrepreneur, Eric RIES. It is evident that it is a good practice that holds a lot of promise for companies. Consumers in France and around the world are increasing in their demands.

The design of an innovative product whose sole purpose is to satisfy its users is a step ahead of the target market. This user-centric vision sets the company apart from its competitors whose innovative products have more scattered objectives. In short, Lean Startup is much more than a fad. It is an innovation strategy that expands the field of possibilities exponentially.

 

Prototype a web or mobile application: the Lean Startup method

 

It’s a fact, Lean Startup is an innovative method known and recognized to satisfy its users but not only that. With the application of the agile methods (Lean Canvas, tools, etc.) of Lean Startup to prototype a web or mobile app, the innovative company is able to go further.

Indeed, the participants of the Lean Startup training have the confidence that their web or mobile app meets the expectations and needs of the user, both in terms of user experience and security.

In short, the Lean Startup training is concentrated on good practices that respond with agility to the needs of the business of companies. Do you want to move from the concept to the development of an innovation project, with the support of innovation experts? Schoolab guides you step by step.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The Lean Startup method, theorized and popularized by Eric Ries, allows organizations to rapidly develop MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) while limiting risk. It can also be understood as a continuous innovation methodology with the development of a first MVP, accompanied by a Lean Startup Business canvas. The goal is to test it on the market and improve it through iterations.

In the Lean Startup approach, there are not really consecutive phases in a precise order. Rather, we talk about cycles built with a prototype or a low-cost MVP (depending on the progress of the project). This prototype, or MVP, is put on the market or in the hands of the users having well-defined objectives of what we want to measure.

Then, we continue to develop iterations of the product and the business model with all the feedback we have received, or we make a pivot. In other words, we modify our idea, and we start again. This method allows creating products and services faster, with a viable business model, and with more chances to answer a user problem than a traditional waterfall method.

No need to panic. These 2 methodologies often go hand in hand. However, we are not talking about the same things. If the Lean Startup is a methodology to quickly launch a business or a product with rapid iterations, the agile method is a working method originating from the computer industry. The agile method enables companies to rework a product through iterations that develop each aspect. of the product’s functionality. This method is not reserved for new product launches.
