Apply the test and learn approach to your product development process

Before investing a lot of time and resources into a new development project, many product and innovation leaders take advantage of the Lean Startup Co. pilot program.

Our experienced delivery team guides product and innovation leaders to apply The Lean Startup methodology to a small cohort of their development projects  at their own pace.

Lean Startup Co.
Pilot Program

Leverage the deep expertise of Lean Startup Co. who will guide the teams working on your key development projects as they work through the pilot program over a 10-week period.

Chartering

We start by identifying the right initiatives and teams to ensure alignment and focus. This crucial phase ensures that selected projects resonate with your strategy and vision.

Training

A deep dive into the Lean Startup methodology ensures every team member is equipped with the knowledge and tools to make the most out of the pilot. This foundational phase sets the stage for informed action.

Learning Sprint

Over a dedicated 10-week period, teams immerse themselves in understanding the customer problem, potential solutions & business models. We regularly coach teams to systematically de-risk projects by running experiments using rapid Build-Measure-Learn Cycles.

Decision Event

Picture a collaborative gathering where leaders evaluate, assess, and react to the learning from the sprint. This isn’t a “shark tank”; it’s a nurturing space for informed decisions. Here, we decide the future trajectory of the initiatives based on real insights.

Reflection

Post-pilot, we sit down for a retrospective journey, analyzing what went well, what didn’t, and identifying key takeaways for future projects. This phase is crucial for continuous improvement of your lean startup implementation.
