Office solutions for lean startups
Whether you are looking for a coworking space in D.C., or just starting out on your own, there are a few things to keep in mind. One of them is what to look for in a lean startup office solution.
The Lean Startup approach is about putting a process in place around your product development process. It creates order and provides tools to test your vision continuously. And while it may be difficult to actually implement, the resulting order and productivity is well worth the effort.
The true measure of the Lean Startup is not just the number of failures, but the number of successes. The process involves adapting plans incrementally and measuring progress. It also involves validating learning to reduce the development process.
