What is Lean Startup?
A methodology for building businesses by rapidly testing ideas with real customers and iterating based on feedback.
Why It Matters
The lean approach reduces waste by validating assumptions before investing heavily in building features.
Real-World Example
Testing a landing page to gauge interest before building the actual product.
“Understanding terms like Lean Startup matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
