“Lean startup and Agile methods are wrong.”

The study suggests that successful startups invest time in research before creating their initial product to find a market niche.
Their definition of 'prototype' differs from the common usage in product development, where it means a functional simulation rather than a minimal product offered to customers for purchase.
Prototyping serves as a valuable tool for feedback and understanding customer needs, often used in initial research efforts.
Using quick prototypes to try out ideas in a risk-free environment can be beneficial in evaluating assumptions and user problems.
Prototypes can complement generative research efforts by involving users in assessing potential solutions.
The Lean Startup method is centered around learning from customers through experiments, which can include early product launches or other means.
Lean Startup methods are not about rushing products to market haphazardly but about gaining insights through customer feedback.
The research supports the idea that starting with market research and identifying target segments before building a product aligns with Lean Startup principles.
Leveraging UX teams can be instrumental in achieving better product-market fit by using lightweight prototypes as part of research projects.
Effective utilization of designers and researchers can provide valuable insights before committing resources to product development, avoiding the lack of learning from product failures.
