Minimal Viable Product
The MVP is the product that in the shortest time can create value for one or more users on a continuous basis.
- Eric Ries "Lean Startup"
MVP has limited goals and very close attention to how much it costs
Should feature X be in the MVP?
- Does the user need it to use the app?
- How simple is it to develop?
- Does it provide value to the company?
- Postpone the revenue generating feature.
- Get the audience hooked first.
Double check: Is your MVP solution any different than the competition?
The Backlog:
- keep a list of future versions of the app.
- Allows developer to plan for expansion and integration.
