About this listen

The missing manual on how to apply Lean Startup to build products that customers love.

The Lean Product Playbook is a practical guide to building products that customers love. Whether you work at a start-up or a large, established company, we all know that building great products is hard. Most new products fail. This book helps improve your chances of building successful products through clear, step-by-step guidance and advice.

The Lean Startup movement has contributed new and valuable ideas about product development and has generated lots of excitement. However, many companies have yet to successfully adopt Lean thinking. Despite their enthusiasm and familiarity with the high-level concepts, many teams run into challenges when trying to adopt Lean, because they feel like they lack specific guidance on what exactly they should be doing.

If you are interested in Lean Startup principles and want to apply them to develop winning products, this audiobook is for you. This book describes the Lean Product Process: a repeatable, easy-to-follow methodology for iterating your way to product-market fit. It walks you through how to:

  • Determine your target customers
  • Identify underserved customer needs
  • Create a winning product strategy
  • Decide on your Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
  • Design your MVP prototype
  • Test your MVP with customers
  • Iterate rapidly to achieve product-market fit

This book was written by entrepreneur and Lean product expert Dan Olsen, whose experience spans product management, UX design, coding, analytics, and marketing across a variety of products. As a hands-on consultant, he refined and applied the advice in this book as he helped many companies improve their product processes and build great products. His clients include Facebook, Box, Hightail, Epocrates, and Medallia.

Entrepreneurs, executives, product managers, designers, developers, marketers, analysts, and anyone who is passionate about building great products will find The Lean Product Playbook an indispensable resource.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Listening to the audio book is almost like listening to a robot or somebody reading a boring manual, no dynamics, difficult to pay attention. The book itself contains great wisdom, it's one of the best for product management, but I regret buying the audiobook when I could read the book.

Boring and monotone narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Wish I’d had this recommended to me years ago - makes the world of tech product development makes sense. Perfectly paced with real world examples.

Like a tutorial - perfectly narrated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The book goes into a lot of detail on how to construct a lean product process however there are several table and image references when following the audiobook. This becomes hard to follow when you're listening to the book during a commute or are restricted by internet access.

Good methodologies but hard to follow
