Why should you spend time and money on a mobile MVP?
Should you build an MVP?
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is the best way for a founder or a business to validate their hypothesis by getting in front of their customers through digital marketplaces and testing it with a real audience.
The process of developing an MVP is costly from both a time perspective and financially, to get good results, an MVP should focus on a bare minimum set of features that would allow testing the idea of the product.
What to include in an MVP?
Deciding on the roadmap and the feature set of an MVP is a difficult task, especially for a first-time founder, or a business that tries to solve a new problem that is different from what they are used to doing. Before going in and developing an MVP full of useless features that will not provide any usefulness for your user, it’s important to plan accordingly and focus on the problem and the right audience.
As its names say, an MVP should be a MINIMUM VIABLE product, which means you’ll need to cut and reduce the feature set of the product until you’ll reach the core of your main idea.
Why should you build an MVP?
An MVP is the first iteration of your product, the watered-down, slim version of your grand vision. It should provide a solution to the core problem you’re trying to solve, in a manner that’s good enough for the users to use and engage with for you to test the hypothesis of the product.
