Learn to design experiments, evaluate customer feedback, test business assumptions, and develop and launch MVPs that support validated learning. You'll also examine how to interpret evidence, make informed pivot-or-persevere decisions, and evaluate different pivot strategies. Discover how actionable metrics, continuous improvement, and iterative practices support product development and scalable startup growth. By the end of the course, you'll be able to apply Lean Startup methods, design experiments, develop MVPs, evaluate customer evidence, and make informed strategic decisions. What makes this course distinctive is its practical connection between experimentation, MVP development, validated learning, and Lean growth, helping you move from assumptions to informed startup decisions.
