 So I'm just going to share a bit of background about myself and then talk about what I hope to achieve in this session okay, so I'm I've been practicing lean startup for a couple of years now and I'm also part of a couple of different groups where I mentor a few of the company's startups I'm now with Intuit, which is also a much larger company that still works as sort of small team the startups using both design thinking and lean startup and I Want to sort of just share some real practical examples of how I've tried to use lean startup and some challenges that I've faced and I don't want to be someone who is coming in trying to give a lot of gyan because I think there's enough gyan out there So I'm hoping I can share some real examples because I think that's kind of where it's valuable and Encourage more conversations within our community to talk about sort of what's working for you or what's not working for you And how can we learn from each other? And I think to me if I can incubate some thoughts and get people together here talking about it figuring out How in the context of agile and lean things could work together? That'll be great I'm not here to evangelize lean startup. I think there's some strengths here There's certain areas where it hasn't worked for me ultimately. I think these things are horses for courses It's a design thinking customer development. I think you sort of got to choose depending on what you're trying to achieve But here I'll talk a little more specifically with respect to lean startup. How I've applied it and certain things that I've learned so I'm a perpetual entrepreneur, even if I'm a part of a big company an intrapreneur in a big company. I Have been a part of multiple startups in the past. I lived and worked in the Bay Area for a while as part of one startup That we took public we grew it globally I've had a number of different roles been a part of taking different products to the market I've been both an engineering leadership role as it is in product leadership roles and I just love working with small teams to foster innovation and and help Take ideas, you know ground up I've also been a mentor at lean startup machine and That's sort of where I felt like hey It's good to sort of talk about all this but really sort of sharing examples is useful Since we can then really learn a little more from each other I'll also talk about it about me as a senior product manager into it and the context of how I know many of you are from much larger companies And I think a lot of this still applies for you Although the case study that I'm going to share is from a startup that I was a part of earlier So this is a case study that ended up getting really popular to popular at the point where it's almost a little embarrassing in some ways But I had people like Benjamin Southworth and you know Gary toss people who I really really respect sort of reaching on and saying hey, this is how you guys should build product and I think it sort of inspired me to say hey, you know to look to share more with people learn more from others too And I hope that you know
