I heard about the Lean Startup a couple of months ago (here in the forum), and even after I saw a couple of videos about it, I couldn't quite understand what the heck it was.
But the videos I watched provided great value, and I went on to buy "The Lean Startup" book by Eric Ries (by the way Eric is a little annoying in the videos, but no problems with the book). I'm about 2/3 through and so far it is proving to be a great read.

I think The Fastlane and Lean Startup have a lot in common - thinking out of the box, quality vs quantity in work, consumer driven business decisions instead of ego driven, and providing a "scientific" approach for success in business. However, I think that The Fastlane is more of a personal approach, while Lean Startup is more of a startup management approach. I recommend this book for anyone in business, and especially for someone launching a startup or managing a company.

The book is full of real life examples of how real startups use these principles and the success they have as a result. The videos also feature CEOs showing how their companies (fortune 500 as well as small startups) use the lean model in their operations & strategic planning.

What are your thoughts about it?

Anyone had any personal experience implementing the methods?
