Reaping Benefits from Your Minimum Viable Product Model in SysML

Visual Concept Making 5/5

This series of articles is related to the conceptual design of products and services, in particular with the goal of assessing their feasibility. I introduce a methodology that I named Visual Concept Making whose goal is to provide a series of steps to assess the difficulty in realizing a particular design. The methodology is then focused on testing feasibility criteria of a product idea and used in the scope of more general approach such as the construction of a Minimal Viable Product in the Lean Startup Methodology. These articles are in support of the graduate class on product design that I teach in Japan every year in October.

Increase the Learning Rate

In the series of articles I explained that you can use visual modeling as a technology to learn about feasibility aspects of your Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The application of this technology is done through the use of the systems modeling language (SysML), a modeling tool and the Visual Concept Making methodology.
