The Lean Product Playbook: How to Innovate with Minimum Viable Products and Rapid Customer Feedback

Why I recommend it

Olsen connects customer needs, design, and testing in a practical product-development process. He breaks a promising idea into questions a team can investigate.

What it changed in my thinking

An MVP should help us learn whether we’re solving a real problem for someone. Making a product smaller isn’t the whole point.

Who it’s useful for

Product teams and founders testing a new idea.

A tension or limitation

Following the steps doesn’t guarantee a good product. Feedback still takes judgment, and the strategy has to make sense.
