How decisions on the product future are made?
Business plan
Processes
Opinions2
Cannot be tested
Long and boring
…yes… and opinions…
Now try to sell a business plan to a VC…

“No business plan survives first contact with the customer”
“Your opinion although interesting is irrelevant”
“Nothing important happens in the office”
“There are no facts inside the building, so get the heck outside” -- Steve Blank
An experiment with the market? MVP!

MVP (Minimal Viable Product) – smallest product increment that can accelerate the learning necessary to develop a sustainable business model in highly uncertain markets.

MVP ≠ Prototype
MVP ≠ Cheaper Developed Product
MVP = “fake it before you make it”
Dropbox, Facebook… KASPERSKY???

Private beta: Mar 2008
Kaspersky Security Scan:Case Study
7
• Free antimalware scanner for PC
• Revenues from the user’s traffic: ~ $ 7-digit
• Release cycle: 6-8 mon
MVP1: Decrease conversion time

• CRkis >> CR1
• 22% prefer to install Kaspersky Internet Security right away!
• CRnew = 88%*CR1 + 22%*CRkis
• Wait a couple of month to get the statistics on CRkis…
MVP1: Find the bottleneck

Fix installer bug
2.5x Conversion Rate
in the full funnel!
• Product is not changed• No release yet• Efforts… 2 m/week
Sub-funnel: “Get full protection”
MVP2: New feature

Results:• > 50% attempts to use the function• > 60% installed Kaspersky Internet Security• > 60% installation with other АV
Conclusion:• Yes, implement it! (grounded $ projection available)• Although efforts are needed, need to be compatible
with other AV• Compatibility of KIS with other AV for displacement is
a must
MVP is a challenge for big companies

Big company Startup
Stable business-model Not fully defined business model

Test hypothesis VS status quo
Understand the essence of the formal processes
(legal, requirement flow, quality requirements)
Specific competences vs

bring them inside
