Got an idea, a side project, or thinking about starting your own thing? Before you dive into writing code, make sure it’s something worth building.
In this talk, Bizrupt will join our software engineer community to share how Lean Startup principles can help you uncover real problems, validate your ideas, and build MVPs that truly matter.
Greek description:
Έχεις μια ιδέα, side project ή σκέφτεσαι να ξεκινήσεις κάτι δικό σου; Πριν αρχίσεις να γράφεις κώδικα, βεβαιώσου ότι αξίζει να το χτίσεις.
Έχεις μια ιδέα, side project ή σκέφτεσαι να ξεκινήσεις κάτι δικό σου; Πριν αρχίσεις να γράφεις κώδικα, βεβαιώσου ότι αξίζει να το χτίσεις.
Σε αυτή την παρουσίαση, θα δούμε πώς μπορούν να εφαρμοστούν οι αρχές του Lean Startup για να ανακαλύψεις πραγματικά προβλήματα, να κάνεις idea validation και να φτιάξεις MVPs που έχουν αξία.
