A starting point for an MVP is a “low fidelity” product for customer feedback, test your understanding of the problem.
Cycle through the Build, Measure, Learn cycle to build a “high fidelity” app tests your understanding of the solution.
This process helps demonstrate you are solving a core problem for customers (remember customers can also be internal).
The minimum set of features needed to learn from evangelists.
Avoid building products nobody wants.
Maximize the learning per time spent.Tuesday, 2 April 13
Avoid building products nobody wants, please.
