# design_thinking_lean

## Overview
Two complementary methodologies for innovation:

Design Thinking: Discover user needs through empathy, generate creative
solutions, and prototype iteratively. Good for finding the right problem.

Lean Startup: Test business assumptions through minimum viable products
and validated learning. Good for testing whether solutions work.

Combined: Design Thinking discovers what to build, Lean Startup validates
whether you should build it.

## When to Use
- Developing new products or services
- Solving ambiguous problems
- When unsure what users actually need
- Validating business assumptions
- Reducing waste by learning before building
