Myth: Build it. And they will come.
TruthNo business survives first contact with customers.
You build it, and no one cares.
Customers are often biggest risk. Not Technology.
Product development is a discovery process.
Sell before you Build.

Have you tried to solve in the past? If so, How?
Was there a budget set?

Myths ofProduct Development
![Page 68: Ryan's Lean Startup Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554ac582b4c905b5238b4737/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Myth: We just need to hit Scale
TruthTraffic & Hits are not a business.
Premature scaling is the #1 cause of startup failure.
Spending money faster cannot fix a business model.
Product must be fit to Customer before scaling.
![Page 69: Ryan's Lean Startup Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554ac582b4c905b5238b4737/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Myth: It’s all about Execution
TruthAchieving Failure =
Successfully executing a flawed plan.
Startups don’t know enough to just execute.
![Page 70: Ryan's Lean Startup Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/554ac582b4c905b5238b4737/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Myth: I must be the Hero
TruthShare your struggles.
Transparency sets you free from the hero burden
Builds Trust
Team effort – Let’s solve this together.
Be fair to employees & their families.
