The Lean Product Playbook: How to Innovate with Minimum Viable Products and Rapid Customer Feedback

Very easy to read, sometimes a bit dry and often its covering what is now, at least, very well known approaches. However, that said it also contain some key differences to other comparable books. I *think* I understand the theory around lean, good UX approach very well but sometimes it's hard to find actual practical descriptions of doing them in different stages of your customer / product development. What I am finding is that product development techniques are very well documented but customer development is still, even now, quite hard to vaguely described to where you should start. For this alone it gets 5 stars. I don't think anything in this book will surprise you if you are vaguely in that startup / lean world (unless you think you are but aren't ;-) but it might just give you some pointers as to your blind spots and how to actually, practically carry them out. It did for me. The other major factor I like is that he is very honest in how he has carried out the research and it isn't overblown or unachievable for most (i.e. just re-hashing the methods that the latest unicorn did which doesn't really translate very often - Uber, which is occasionally mentioned, found a really untapped customer need with huge potential; this is quite rare as is obvious from its outstanding success). There is a lot of people out there that will tell you unless it's huge sample sizes and you are getting statistically significant evidence then it's not worth doing. This is impractical in many B2B cases where its high value but a niche product. He seems to agree and suggest a modest number of well done and structured tests can give you good (enough) insight. I liked this approach as it gets round the all or nothing and makes you apply some rigour to the middle pathway.

Dan has produced a simple and powerful manual for understanding and establishing product market fit for your new product or service. High recommend reading for every product development and innovation team,

If there were one book I’d recommend to learn or remind yourself of the fundamentals of product management, it would be The Lean Product Playbook. It's in my top 10 list of best product management books. The book brings together ideas from Lean Startup and Lean UX to give you an actionable model for finding product-market fit. It consists of a 6-step process that explains how to: Determine your target customers. Identify underserved customer needs. Create a winning product strategy. Decide on your Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Design your MVP prototype. Test your MVP with customers. Iterate rapidly. It also comes with several real-world examples that illustrate the full product development lifecycle from a product management standpoint.

This is a brilliant go to guide which is easy to dip in and out of that provides the scientific approach to product development using Lean techniques. Thoroughly recommend

I am really enjoying reading this book. It is very easy to follow with concrete and useful​ examples.

I’m looking to start a new tech start up and this was invaluable for tips and tricks on good PM approaches.

A worthwhile read that had a good balance between innovative tips and tricks, with relevant and familiar case studies where they were applied. Two stars were deducted as it did feel a tad wordy in places with some elements repeated

This book had loads of useful information for entrepreneurs. It also helps give a framework around building great products...highly recommend for all entrepreneurs

Great book, has all of the key info organized.

After reading "The Lean Startup", I did have a good idea on the lean movement and pattern that founders should follow to build theirs products. What I was lacking, however, is more of a step-by-step breakdown of what the process actually looks like starting from the idea to the first release. In his book, Dan covers a lot of those concepts with practical examples from identifying target customers to testing your MVP and iterating. I also found a lean product case study and agile tips in the end of the book incredibly helpful! I highly recommend Dan's book to people who are after building great meaningful products and am very thankful to have come across it myself.

Uno dei libri più completi ed efficaci che abbia mai letto. Tecnico ma scorrevole, adatto anche a chi è all’inizio.

I liked the practical approach rather than theories. Makes you reason at each step. Book is cleanly divided so you can focus on what you want from it. In Dan's term which chapter will give you the highest ROI or improvement I'm the way you are working or what particular area you want to focus on improving. But ideally you should read it from front to end to grasp the whole gravity of Dan's teaching.

Um livro muito bem escrito pelo Olsen. Completo, informativo, com bons relatos pessoais da experiência do autor e ótimo aos interessados no tema Lean Startup. Dan no entrega um bom método para criar produtos. Certamente é um livro tão bom de se ter como referência constante quanto Lean Startup do Eric Ries. Um livro onde cada capítulo entrega bons guias para os empreendedores. Dica para capitulos que falam sobre Identify Underserver Customer Needs, sobre Value Proposition, sobre MVP e sobre Métricas.
