Minimum Viable Product

The MVP or Minimum Viable Product

• “It’s not necessarily minimal nor a product nor viable!”
• MVP is not a perfectly descriptive term
• “An experiment is a product” (From TLS book)
• Smallest increment of work that will test a hypothesis
• What forms can it take?
  • A static web site
  • A video
  • A simple free wordpress blog
  • Pricing scheme
  • Concierge MVP
  • Problem description
  • Solution description
  • Paper mockup
  • Actual Prototype
• The key is that it is MINIUM!
• MVP is always always related to a hypothesis (or more than one)
• Discussion: Does MVP mean that quality is not important?
