What is an MVP?
An MVP, or Minimum Viable Product, is a software or hardware product with just enough features to be usable by early customers who can then provide feedback for future development. This feedback is crucial for guiding the direction of your product, ensuring it meets the needs of your users.
What is not an MVP?
PoC vs. Prototype vs. MVP
You might often hear the terms PoC (Proof of Concept) and Prototype alongside MVP. While they're related, each serves a different purpose, targets a different audience, and takes different amounts of time to create.
Steps to Build an MVP
You've just reached the part where the steps to build a successful MVP are clearly outlined. This section takes you through each crucial phase, ensuring you understand the entire lifecycle of creating a successful MVP.
Define the Business Need
Start by clearly defining the business need. Through several iterations, we’ll understand exactly what you need and help refine the plans to fit within the MVP framework.
Finalize Core Features
Determine which essential features the product will include. Based on this, we’ll create a detailed project plan outlining scope, timeline, deliverables, budget, and project management framework.
Development Phase
UX and UI Design
Finalize the design in an iterative process. If you already have designs from the prototyping phase, we’ll use those.
Programming
Turn plans into a functional product. Create the front-end for user interaction and the back-end for functionality.
Testing
Conduct testing parallel to development to ensure quality.
Launch
Deploy the solution so it’s available to users. Depending on complexity, we might set up testing and staging environments before going live.
Maintenance and Support
Ensure the product continues to operate smoothly and stays up-to-date with changing standards.
How can you source the creation of an MVP?
You have several options for turning your idea into a product and every of them has its own pros and cons. Here, we created a comparison of the two most common approaches so you can understand it a bit deeper.
