Chapter 3. Validating the Product Hypothesis in IT Projects
This chapter covers the Lean Startup framework of product design, based on the "build-measure-learn" feedback loop, and compares it with Waterfall requirements gathering and project scope management. Once the customer is identified, it is essential to validate whether our understanding of the customer's need is accurate. This chapter introduces the concepts of customer hypothesis, validation, minimum viable product (MVP), and the principles of making a decision to pivot or persevere. It describes the non-linear nature of lean startup validation, which is equally relevant for IT projects.
