Lean Startup & Product Validation Expert

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course develops a disciplined approach to lean startup thinking and product validation. Rather than treating an idea as proven, learners practise converting assumptions into testable questions, discovering customer pain, designing hypotheses and choosing low-cost experiments that produce evidence. The curriculum covers customer interviews, surveys, MVP thinking, actionable metrics, pricing and demand tests, and the decision logic behind pivot, persevere or stop choices. It also addresses how to communicate validation evidence to stakeholders and how to organise learning into a focused validation sprint and 90-day product-learning plan. Frameworks such as problem-discovery funnels, pain maps, assumption maps, commitment ladders and evidence-review boards are paired with startup cases throughout. The result is an applied course for founders, product professionals and innovation teams who need a clearer way to learn before scaling a product decision.
