Our view
“The Lean Startup” gives founders a usable framework for deciding what to work on and for learning quickly whether it is paying off. Readers credit it with changing how they judge a business idea, including knowing sooner when to stop, and it bears rereading. Some find it a little dense in places. It is most valuable to people starting or running a new venture.
