Description 
 | 
 |
| 
   
We live in an age of
  unparalleled opportunity for innovation. We’re building more products than
  ever before, but most of them fail—not because we can’t complete what we set
  out to build, but because we waste time, money, and effort building the wrong
  product. 
 | 
 |
| 
   
What we need is a
  systematic process for quickly vetting product ideas and raising our odds of
  success. That’s the promise of Running
  Lean. 
 | 
 |
| 
   
In this inspiring
  book, Ash Maurya takes you through an exacting strategy for achieving a
  "product/market fit" for your fledgling venture, based on his own
  experience in building a wide array of products from high-tech to no-tech.
  Throughout, he builds on the ideas and concepts of several innovative
  methodologies, including the Lean Startup, Customer Development, and
  bootstrapping. 
 | 
 |
| 
   
Running Lean is an ideal tool for business
  managers, CEOs, small business owners, developers and programmers, and anyone
  who’s interested in starting a business project.
