Introducing	the	Customer	Development
Process

Customer	development	is	a	four-step	process	invented	by	Steve	Blank,	serial
entrepreneur	turned	author	and	educator.	The	basic	premise	is	that	there	are	no
facts	in	the	building,	so	you	need	to	test	your	ideas	with	customers	and
stakeholders	(e.g.,	channel	partners	or	other	key	partners)	before	you	implement
them.	In	this	book	we	use	the	customer	development	process	to	test	the
assumptions	underlying	Value	Proposition	and	Business	Model	Canvases.

             Customer	Discovery

                   Get	out	of	the	building	to	learn	about	your	customers’	jobs,
                   pains,	and	gains.	Investigate	what	you	could	offer	them	to	kill
                   pains	and	create	gains.
