Not adding components incrementally

Instead adding stand-alone solutions – value – incrementally

The Minimum Viable Product“MVP is a concise summary of the smallest possible group of features that will work as a stand-alone product while still solving at least the “core” problem and demonstrating the product’s value.”

-Steve Blank

From the “Gurus”1. A tool to manage risk and maximize return on investment for new products – Frank Robinson2. A tool to maximize learning from customers in high-uncertainty markets – Eric Ries3. A tool to accelerate time-to-market by targeting the least demanding customers first – Steve Blank

 “MVP is that unique product that maximizes return on risk for both the vendor and the customer”

-Frank Robinson

Minimum Viable Product is that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort.

-Eric Ries

www.plays-in-business.com -6 - 02.05.2023Meaning of “Minimum Viable”

1. “Minimal” is as important as “viable”!Most people concentrate on one at the expense of the other.

2. A solution that you can most quickly come up with, which will solve the problem. Does not matter if it is crappy. Quickly means it is minimal and if it is solving the problem even in a poor way, it means it is viable.

3. Whole point of a MVP is to show value enough to attract early adopters and collect feedback. This feedback is what everything is all about. – MVP is a tool for generating maximum customer learning in the shortest possible time.
