by Dan Olsen

1 founder on the eChai network recommends The Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen.

The Lean Product Playbook offers a concrete, six-step process for achieving product-market fit using minimum viable products and rapid customer feedback. Olsen introduces the Product-Market Fit Pyramid and walks through identifying target customers, defining value propositions, building MVPs, and iterating from user testing. It is a hands-on manual rather than a high-level treatise.

Finding product-market fit is the central challenge of an early startup, and this book turns that abstract goal into a repeatable process. The Product-Market Fit Pyramid gives founders a shared vocabulary for diagnosing where their product is falling short.
