Using the Business Model Canvas to spot assumptions #bmgen
Having used the canvas for several years, and now working directly with Alex Osterwalder, I've met a lot of people who have developed new techniques with it. Some of them have been instrumental in spotting killer assumptions, so I'd like to share those with you. Broadly, I'll tell you about finding critical points in your business model assumptions, choosing a growth engine, validating your business model with real and hypothetical numbers, and if there's time, prototyping widely to spot better hypotheses and record better customer input. I imagine this will be a fast and broad overview, so if there's any…

Integrating design and research into Agile
What is the best way to integrate customer development research and design into product development using Agile?
I have no solutions and I'm looking to start a debate with people applying Agile, both from the development and design (UX/Visual design) perspectives, so we can find together some actionable ideas to implement in our work.
Some problems I find from the research/design front:
- it's difficult to estimate research when your audience have not been defined.
- research tasks need to be redefined and time extended to get relevant results.
- design tasks have an iterative nature, how you fit that in sprints where…

Guesstimations: nunca dejes que la falta de un dato te impida seguir avanzando
Esta charla se impartirá en castellano. Esta es una charla sencilla que toca un tema de gran utilidad práctica. Cuando emprendes, especialmente si estás 'trampeando', a menudo te encuentras con que un dato que crees necesitas para seguir avanzando no está a tu alcance. "Oh, Dios Mío, no sale en Google!". Y ni hablar de hacer un 'estudio de mercado' o similar. Llegados a ese punto, lo mejor es 'Guesstimar'. Un ejemplo claro es determinar si tu mercado es atractivo - si es suficientemente grande. En diez minutos puedes conseguir una cifra que te permitirá continuar avanzando. No es magia,…

Cómo trabajar, de verdad, con tus supuestos e hipótesis: el uso de los Árboles Lógicos de TOC
Esta charla se impartirá en castellano. Es muy fácil decirle a un emprendedor que la mayor parte de lo que cree son "supuestos" y que debe "verificarlos". Lo que nadie te enseña es una manera de trabajar de forma estructurada, sistemática y solvente con dichos supuestos. Las mejores herramientas del mundo para hacer esto fueron desarrolladas por el Dr. Goldratt, padre de la Theory of Constraints. Se denominan 'Thinking Processes' y coloquialmente, Árboles Lógicos. Esta herramienta contiene sus propios 'tests' para verificar la solidez del razonamiento y ayuda a identificar, sí que sí, qué supuestos son críticos y deben testarse…

How can accelerators and incubators help you maximize the potential of your business idea?
In the beginning everyone does mistakes. It's difficult to launch a new product and a new company and lots of startups died in the first 6 months because they don't have the right knowledge, support, network and tools to launch a business.
So, I would like to ask everyone to share their start-up experiences and I would like to hear your ideas on how accelerators and incubators should work in order to help start-ups maximize their potential since the very beginning.8 votes -

What can Lean Startup tell us about making the transition from breadwinner to business owner/entrepeneur?
As a breadwinner with a family, the transition from freelancer to business owner is challenging. I am challenged by constraints of time (my own) and, therefore, capacity.
I am tackling this by building a learning community (for professional business analysts) where I am not a critical cog by definition.
I would like to explore ideas on what the Lean Startup mindset offers when to overcome these challenges (or turn them into an opportunity!).1 vote -

The "Standard" Lean Kanban Board
Background: We are building https://www.blossom.io to help teams to apply 'lean' to how they develop products.
The Challenge: We want to provide them with a lean kanban board as suggested default template so they can get started immediately (low barrier).
But at the same time we are aware that providing a sensible default is very important and we could potentially end up with suggesting a half-assed board to thousands of people. This is quite a moral burden and therefore we ask for help & input of the community and people smarter than us :)

How should our approach change if our competition is also Lean?
Most examples of Lean Startup focus on a small, agile company that sets out to disrupt an existing, less manoeuvrable market. How should you adapt your methodology if your competition is also using Lean principles?

Why startups need content strategy
We're all watching the metrics that matter: acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and revenue. You know the drill.
But how many of us consider that content--the messiest of user experience arts--is critical to the each of those metrics? From the tone of voice of your interface microcopy, to the structure of your online marketing material, to the things your company says on twitter–content is a critical business asset.
And to wrangle content using lean startup principles, we need the discipline of content strategy: how to plan, create, edit, and govern useful, useable content.
The session: a brief intro from me followed…
