Synopsis

Marc Andreesen once said that "markets that don't exist don't care how smart you are." Whether you're a startup founder trying to disrupt an industry, or an intrapreneur trying to provoke change from within, your biggest risk is building something nobody wants.

Lean Analytics can help. By measuring and analyzing as you grow, you can validate whether a problem is real, find the right customers, and decide what to build, how to monetize it, and how to spread the word. Focusing on the One Metric That Matters to your business right now gives you the focus you need to move ahead—and the discipline to know when to change course.

Written by Alistair Croll and Ben Yoskovitz, the book lays out practical, proven steps to take your startup from initial idea to product/market fit and beyond. Packed with over thirty case studies, and based on a year of interviews with over a hundred founders and investors, the book is an invaluable, practical guide for Lean Startup practitioners everywhere.

I'll start with 3 advices: 1.) Start with reading the subtitle 2.) Then read the subtitle 3.) And finally - read the subtitle This book is not about analytics in general or even analytics in lean production / development.

Goodreads review by Kelly on February 19, 2014

Another disjointed analysis with specifics about my company that I shouldn't tell people. Lean Analytics 10: Ratios are good for comparing factors that are opposed or have some kind of tension. A good metric changes behavior. 12: Types of Metrics - Qual / Quant, Exploratory / Reporting, Leading / Laggi......more
