Lean Startup is a new, field-tested philosophy that provides you with a toolset to minimize failure and increase your chances of success. There are hundreds of companies using it, from financial services companies like Wealthfront to social companies like IMVU to large corporations such as Intuit.

But what is Lean Startup, or more importantly, how do I implement Lean principles into my own company? Well, to answer that question, we've brought in the Godfather of Lean Startup himself, Eric Ries. Not only has he written the book on "The Lean Startup," but he has also now created THE course on Lean Startup.

Eric brought in all of the leaders in the movement to talk to you about what lean startup is and how to implement it into your company. This course is the real deal - its the most content you'll ever get on the Lean Startup all in one place. More importantly, it is curated - Eric has personally taken the most important aspects of Lean Startup and condensed it into a single course. And then he added a few dozen case studies of it by including bonus material from the definitive conferences on the subject.

With change in software development methodologies and team dynamics, its time to change our management and leadership style as well. Agile needs empowered team and self-organizing team, management to be facilitator than managers etc... But how do we exactly do it?
