Lean Requirements
summary
Lean requirements means running a cross-functional workshop to get measurable outcomes, personas and a story mapping board, then cutting a prioritized MVP in two-to-three-week sprints. Claims: one in three projects fails, one in four apps are never installed, and enterprise waste totals ~$1T; a minimal on-site investment (~€20–30k) buys shared understanding. Example: a retail bank prototype ships to users and reaches the App Store in four months after iterative validation. post‑its and prototypes
