Running Lean

by Ash Maurya

Maurya operationalizes lean startup with the Lean Canvas and a step-by-step method: document the plan, identify the riskiest parts, test them systematically with customer interviews and small experiments. It is the practical companion to Ries, with templates and scripts.

Read it if…

you have an idea and want a concrete process to test it in weeks.

Skip it if…

you want theory; this is a workbook.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Write the plan on one page.
  2. Test the riskiest assumption first.
  3. Interview before building; build before scaling.

Do this first

Fill out a Lean Canvas in twenty minutes and circle the riskiest assumption.
