Our Verdict
The Lean Startup course offers an informative look into the methodology's core principles, relying on real-world examples from various industries. Although its dated content and unengaging video format detract from its overall value, the course still provides insights into innovating accounting and measuring startups' success with actionable metrics. Those who prefer a hands-on learning approach might find this course inadequate due to the lack of practical exercises or an explicit 'how-to' structure. Despite these limitations, aspiring entrepreneurs can certainly benefit from exploring Lean Startup via alternative resources like Eric Ries's book and YouTube interviews featuring various industry experts, ultimately enriching their understanding of a transformative approach for product development
