Lean Startup: Build, Measure, Learn

In this episode of The Product Handbook, we break down the Lean Startup methodology — not as a Silicon Valley slogan, but as a practical framework for building smarter, faster, and with way less waste.

You’ll learn:

• How the Build → Measure → Learn loop really works — and how to remember it

• What a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) actually is (hint: it’s not “build less”)

• How companies like Dropbox, Airbnb, and Buffer turned scrappy MVPs into global platforms

• How Lean Startup thinking applies beyond startups — in big companies, legacy products, and even your next internal tool

• Why combining Lean Startup with Design Thinking can supercharge discovery and innovation

Whether you’re launching a new idea, pivoting an old one, or just want to sound like you didn’t learn Lean Startup from a meme, this episode gives you the tools to think, build, and iterate with intention.
