The lean approach relies on validated learning, experimentation, and iterative product releases to shorten product development cycles, measure progress, and gain valuable customer feedback.
These principles can be used by any innovator, especially those determined to solve the world's toughest social problems, to create the greatest impact and better meet the needs of customers.
