FAQ

What makes a good minimum viable product?

So, the key characteristics of a successful minimum viable product are that it is small in scale, fast and cheap to create. It should also not create too much negative impact when released into the market to see how it behaves.

What not to do when building an MVP?

Choosing the wrong problem to solve can lead to wasted time and resources. Skipping a prototype phase can also waste time and resources, as well as lead to an inferior product. Targeting the wrong segment of persona might lead to the development of a product that is not attractive to its intended audience. Using an inappropriate development method may mean that you don't receive enough feedback from users during testing, resulting in a product that does not meet their needs or expectations. Confusion between qualitative and quantitative feedback might result in the misinterpretation of data by developers.

What are the key factors in the success of an MVP?

A successful minimum viable product (MVP) targets a specific audience. Listen to feedback from many sources. Do less, then test what works. Launch a small, contained version of your product and monitor its progress to see if you should proceed with further development.
