Understanding and working with the Minimum Viable Product
The world is changing faster than ever before. The advent of the internet, mobility, social networking, cloud computing, and all the behaviour changes due to COVID19 pandemic. Everything has accelerated.
When I was younger, the rise of innovative products was much slower. The world was more predictable. Now it’s different.The acceleration of innovation and the velocity of disruption are hard to comprehend or anticipate. The changes hit your business, at the core. You have to do something about it, fast!
MVP, short for Minimum Viable Product, is a concept that emerged in Silicon Valley and became very famous from many successful stories such as Facebook, Zappos, Dropbox, amongst many others. The MVP, as the name implies, is the simplest experiment, prototype or set of features made available to users to validate an idea and collect essential data to guide the direction of the product. Let’s spend quality time talking about the MVP concept and how successful people and teams have been using it.
