Maximizing the value by testing the solutions
Definition
“The minimum viable product is that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort.”
by Eric Ries (2011)
Does it apply to “Products” only?
It can be used for:
● Physical or software products● Services● Features to existing products
So, where do I start?
Create a Hypothesis for your build:
“We believe [TYPE OF USER] has a problem [DOING THING]. We can help them with [OUR SOLUTION]. We'll know we're right if [CHANGE IN METRIC].”
Are there any tools to help me get to that?
● Product Vision Box● Business Model Canvas● Product Canvas● Elevator pitch
What are the ways to test the hypothesis?
● Polls, surveys or interviews● Landing page● Crowdfunding● Prototypes (paper, digital, 3d printed, etc.)● A/B Testing● Advertising campaigns● Simple version of product/software● Whatever works for you
What are the benefits?
● You don’t need to have substantial budget
● You can fail fast, but you will learn a lot more
● You will actually get to know what is important for the users
● You will be more efficient and focused only on the most critical business functions
