I'm curious to kick off a discussion around this... With regard to 'Lean Startup' principals, are you:

1) actively using them

2) planning on using them

3) only using/planning to use a subset of them

4) confused by all the attention they're getting

To answer my own question: we're both '1' & '2'. We're actively using some of them and figuring out how to deploy more of them.

We're in the enterprise software space and are completely bootstrapped. Having taken the hybrid product/consulting path to get here, we're balancing the need to manage existing paying customers who've helped us get to this point, with a parallel focus on customer development to figure out how to take our product to a much wider audience.
