Building Your Drupal Products the Right Way: Customer Development and Business Model Generation in a Lean Startup
Presented by
Every day more and more companies start using Drupal and the day will come when it'll make all the difference if you are more than just-another-Drupal-shop.
Drupal is a very innovative community, and we've got a wide range of companies and individuals that are constantly pioneering new technologies. For several of these pioneers this is a conscious differentiation strategy, an attempt to increase personal or company karma. Commercially however this innovation has not always been particularly successful.
In this presentation I want to share with you the aha moment I got when I first read about customer development, lean startups and business model generation. I'll explain each of these concepts, how we started applying them at Pronovix and put them into a broader Drupal ecosystem context and why any Drupal project you run should be driven by validated customer demand.
In the 2nd part of the presentation I'll explain why I think we need to start massively diversify the way we do business in Drupal and how an ethical Drupal appstore could achieve this without damage to our existing community.

comes together?
Introduction to concepts that changed the way we build products
This is an introductory session to the main concepts of the lean startup methodology and how they can be applied by Drupal shops. The session will be heavily influenced by Steve Blank and the Business Model Canvas and explore how an ethical Drupal appstore could help to make it easier for Drupal shops to create innovative business models.
