In conclusion, the student and faculties will get the knowledge about the Lean Start-up methodology is a strategic approach to building businesses that emphasizes iterative development, customer feedback, and resource efficiency. Start-ups typically progress through various stages, from ideation to scaling, with key principles such as validated learning, build-measure-learn cycles, and pivoting guiding their journey. The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a crucial element of this approach, serving as the simplest version of a product that can be released to test hypotheses and gather early user feedback. The purpose of an MVP is to validate the product idea in the market, minimizing risks and guiding further development. While Lean Start-up and MVPs offer significant advantages such as cost efficiency and faster time-to-market, they alsocome with challenges like managing uncertainty and balancing speed with quality. Learning Lean Start-up involves understanding these principles, applying them through real-world practice, and seeking mentorship. Securing funding for a lean start-up often requires demonstrating traction and validated learning to potential investors, showing that the business is grounded in solid, customer-driven insights.
