This PPT slide, part of the 56-slide Lean Startup Canvas: Guide, Process and Tools PowerPoint presentation, outlines the "Running Lean Methodology," which is structured around the 3 critical stages of a startup: Problem/Solution Fit, Problem/Market Fit, and Scale. Each stage has a distinct focus and set of key questions that guide the startup's development.
In Stage 1, the emphasis is on validating whether a significant problem exists that warrants a solution. Key questions include whether the problem is worth solving and if customers perceive it as a must-have. The tips provided suggest that startups should assess the viability of their solution by determining if customers will pay for it. This stage is crucial for establishing a foundation before moving forward.
Stage 2 shifts the focus to understanding if the proposed solution resonates with the target market. Here, the central question is whether potential customers actually want the solution being offered. Startups are advised to measure the demand for their product and determine if it aligns with market needs. This stage is pivotal for refining the product and ensuring that it meets customer expectations.
Stage 3 represents a transition to scaling the business. The focus here is on growth and optimizing operations. The key question revolves around strategies for accelerating growth. This stage indicates that the startup should be prepared to raise funding if the product-market fit is confirmed. The shift in focus from validation to growth is critical for long-term sustainability.
Overall, the slide serves as a practical guide for startups to navigate their early stages, emphasizing the importance of validation and market alignment before pursuing aggressive growth strategies.
