Oh, so now the whole "we fucked up so let's blame the tools/methodology" has arrived at Lean Startup?

Plus ça change...

Here's a wonderful nugget: "too often Agile development methodologies are used to excuse lack of process and planning". The irony is strong in this one.

The next book on Lean should be a dictionary with just a single word explained in way even a 3 year old can understand: "viable"




Viable means, strictly, able to live at birth, especially, in relation to a foetus (but not a 3-year old?). Being born doesn't mean you will survive. So, minimum viable product is a poor term, implying disrespect for your customers. Minimum desirable product (from your customer's perspective) reflects the standard required.
