The True MVP Approach

Contrary to common misconceptions, a minimal viable product (MVP) is not just the first version of your product. It’s the quickest and simplest method to test the riskiest assumptions about your new product, service, or project.

The focus is on validated learning. Any additional work beyond what is required to start learning is considered wasteful, no matter how crucial it might seem at the time.  Download our one-page guide to learn all about MVPs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is the simplest version of a product that can be released to test key hypotheses and gather valuable feedback with the least amount of effort. The concept, popularised by Eric Ries in “The Lean Startup,” is designed to validate ideas early in the development process, ensuring resources are invested wisely.

While both MVPs and prototypes are used to test ideas, a prototype is typically an early model used to explore concepts and design, whereas an MVP is a functional version of the product aimed at validating the market need and usability with actual users.

 

MVP helps in innovation by enabling rapid experimentation, reducing the cost of failure, encouraging learning from real user interactions, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and adaptation.

Skipping the MVP stage can lead to developing a product that doesn’t meet market needs, resulting in wasted resources and time. It increases the risk of failure as assumptions remain untested.

Success can be measured through key metrics such as user engagement, conversion rates, customer feedback, and validated learning. The primary aim is to gather actionable insights that guide further development.
