Are you using Lean Startup, Agile, or Product Discovery?
Be careful. If you cherry-pick, you can spectacularly fail.

1. Lean Startup
Take the MVP test results as proof and execute your plan in a waterfall style. Without regular inspection and adaptation, your plan will fall apart like a house of cards.
Shot to the moon.

2. Agile
Pick an Agile framework like Scrum. Start without validating your business model. Came up with ideas and deliver them in iterations.
Most ideas are not going to work. And your product probably never had a chance to achieve the Product-Market fit.
Gambling and waste.

3. Product Discovery
Use quantitative and qualitative analysis—interview customers. Identify opportunities. Ideate. Validate the riskiest assumptions. You will end up with validated Product Backlog items.
No bigger picture. And nothing built.

Fortunately, there is a better way:
1. Start with the Lean Startup.
Identify customers and their underserved needs. Use MVP prototype to quickly validate critical assumptions about your business model and get maximum learning with minimal effort.

2. Transition into the production track with two streams running in parallel:
a) Product Discovery answers the question, "What to build next?" Products are never done. You need to perform Product Discovery continuously. In particular, interview your customers every week.

b) Scrum helps you build your product in iterations while limiting the risk to the length of the Sprint and learning along the way.
I have seen many teams that, thanks to Scrum, regularly increased their efficiency and improved the quality of their products drastically.

Lean Startup, Agile, and Product Discovery work amazingly.
When combined.

"1. Lean Startup" = "1. Lean Startup MVP". Lean Startup is more. I can't edit the second tweet to precise it. The rest is fine.
