Ideas are generic

Page 33: Let's get real - leanconf

Jargon & BuzzwordsMake Lean Startup less actionable

Page 34: Let's get real - leanconf

Customer Interviews = Customer Conversations

The term interviews puts people on the wrong path

Page 35: Let's get real - leanconf

MVP = testTest implies your testing an hypothesis and you keep it efficient

Page 36: Let's get real - leanconf

Observation:More peers talk, read and share information about

Lean Startup than we see it being put to use
