Typical explanations tend to focus on the well-known anecdotes and larger than life archetypes we have in mind: the twenty-something college dropouts (men, of course) from Stanford inventing some radical new technology. The academic research tells a very different story. What do entrepreneurs look like? Are they born or made?

As Ive written previously , lean startups are built upon three main trends: Technology commoditization. Combined with the technology trends above, it also enables rapid deployment strategies like just-in-time scalability. Agile software development. Agile allows companies to build higher quality software faster. Customer development.

Similar results apply in product management, design, testing, and even operations. When operating with continuous deployment, its almost impossible to have integration conflicts. However, a technological solution cant necessarily resolve all human root causes. Today, I want to talk about the reasons smaller batches are better.

This theory has become so influential that I have called it one of the three pillars of the lean startup - every bit as important as the changes in technology or the advent of agile development. Very few startups fail for lack of technology. I highly recommend this book for all entrepreneurs, in startups as well as in big companies.

I want to talk specifics, and when you come right down to it, most technology startups dont have a very interesting cost structure. For example, lets say you dont have an operations team, and so youre still getting paged late at night when servers crash. Is it time to make your first operations hire? That depends.

I was once asked by a division manager of a major software company why we were not selling more products in Finland. He did not seem to understand that Finland was not part of Scandinavia and that English is not too well understood by most people there (with the exception of the Swedish speaking minority in Finland).

Lean vs. debt In the world of physical goods, the leaner a supply chain is, the less debt is required to operate it. As one engineer recently told me, “Once we had money in the bank and were near-profitable, I think we would have been well-served by increased up-front product and technology planning. He’s right.

Because there are no tests for new features (or operational alerts for the production code), the code that supports those new features could go bad at any moment. Today, the transformations are often from migrating all those rudimentary legacy systems into a technological windtunnel described by Ray Kurzweil in The Singularity is Near.

Its an academic treatise that tries to answer a seemingly straightforward question: after World War II, why did Silicon Valley become the undisputed leader of the technology world, while Bostons Route 128 corridor did not.

Some questions have a natural escalation path (like working through the standard operations on a linked-list) and others require some more creativity. Any of these answers can work, and depending on what they choose, it usually makes sense to keep probing along these lines: which operations are the most expensive? Any advice?

For example, should we invest a week of engineering time into making our website more failure-proof (which were pretty sure will pay off right away) or into experimenting with a new technology (that might pay off in months, years, or never)? Thats because most people have a natural affinity for certain kinds of work.
