Born to fail

Originally published in Idealog #27, page 12

Eric Ries has watched promising companies burn, accidental ideas succeed and bad products turn good. Working out why has led him to his own methodology, the Lean Startup. It’s all about shipping early, observing the response, learning and being ready to change quickly (the ‘pivot’). If it doesn’t work, at least you’ll fail faster—and cheaper.

This is an excellent interview of Eric Ries in New Zealand that goes over some of the general ideas and benefits of lean startup.
