The part I find humorous is constantly redefining terms. I thought "lean" referred to budgets. In that light, I would have refuted the headline's premise with a reminder that the 'outer' company was footing the bill for salaries.
No, what they're discussing is yet another methodology (or an existing one with a tweak, requiring a new name...) for creating a product, getting it to [a subset of] customers, and refining it.
- mattmanser 13y agoNo, the 'lean startup' has never meant a small budget and while I love the concept, it is a pretty terrible name as it's not really cheap to do it properly. I made the same mistake until I started reading about what they were actually talking about.

Process by definition can't be lean, because process itself is the fat, and once the word "process" is uttered, you may be sure that you aren't in Kansas anymore.
