I judged Lean Startup Machine Boulder yesterday afternoon. I’m a huge Eric Ries / Lean Startup fan and believe that the methodology can be quickly taught. It’s not a coding / hacking weekend – it’s an applied process of the Lean Startup Methodology.

And, if you are a software developer using Lean or Agile methodologies, take a look at Rally and AgileZen. AgileZen was one such company and the acquisition has been a successful one for everyone.

Dick is focusing his effort on getting some early customer validation and is using a Lean Startup approach. Once these were up Dick launched several AdWords campaigns to test customer interest. Dick, Jane, and Praveena decided to get a small office so they could work out of the same space.

In the past decade, we’ve shifted from a “tell me about it” approach (the business plan) to a “show me” approach (the Lean Startup). They can use Steve Blank’s Lean LaunchPad approach to get out of the building and actually incorporate customer development early into the definition of their business.

I’m an enormous fan of Eric Ries and The Lean Startup. When you read Jeff Bezos’ annual letter and internalize “customer obsession” you realize that if you view the world from the perspective of the customer, everything in your business hinges on getting your product into their hands, and then totally delighting them.
