I'm interviewing Eric Ries of The Lean Startup tomorrow. What should I ask?
It's for tractionbook.com. I should have enough time to get into specifics, which is always my goal.
- talltodd 17y agoWhat's the difference between a Minimum Viable Product and a Proof Of Concept?
- alabut 17y agoWhat companies since IMVU would he consider to be lean startups? And why haven't we heard more breakout stories of companies using the methodology?
- marketer 17y agoIf IMVU was wildly successful like he says why did he leave so early?
- standel 17y agoTo what extent this methodology could scale? iow, is it really only for startups?
- plinkplonk 17y agoWhy would someone who knows how to build and has built a successful startup want to go around consulting on how to build one? Copyrighting the phrase "Lean Startup" is a consultant's action, for e.g.
- prakash 17y agoWhat best practices would he recommend if you need to do customer development & discovery over the phone?
- standel 17y agoAny thought on whether Lean Startup could take part in recover from US economic crisis?
- standel 17y agoIn a few words, how would you define Lean Startup? And main differences with others?
- standel 17y agoDid he measure, at IMVU, the real gain between first methodology they were using and Lean Startup model they implemented?
- standel 17y agoDo you have an idea of how many companies have adopted this methodology?
- standel 17y agoCould you foresee some limits of this methodology? If yes, what are they?
- standel 17y agoWhat are the main strengths / advantages of Lean Startup?
- matt_s 17y agoMuch of what I've seen/read about Lean Startups seems to be recasting of Lean Software Development and SCRUM/Agile techniques applied to the niche of "Startup". Much of those can be rooted in Lean techniques from Toyoda & others (Deming, Ford) applied to manufacturing from 60 years ago. Can you comment on why you think those (SCRUM/Agile/Lean SW) are different than Lean Startups? For example, if someone is practiced in SCRUM and is doing a startup - what do they have to gain from learning about Lean Startups?

- revorad 17y agoDoesn't the whole lean startup thing suck the joy out of building something which you are passionate about?

- patrickk 17y agoHow much does Lean startup have in common with Customer Development (percentage-wise) and how does it diverge? What are the main differences?
- standel 17y agoIn case, you had a new idea. Would you try to get the MVP before writing the first line of code? If yes, could you explain us how and why?
- whatadouche 17y agowhy should anyone care what he thinks. and how does one failed startup and one not yet failed startup give him enough data points to triangulate real success. has he ever worked for a company that was actually successful, like real profits, bonuses, benefits etc.?
- talltodd 17y agoSo how did it go; When will the interview come out?
