How to identify MVP functionality and make a customer fall in love with a pilot version of a product

So MVP. Quite a hackneyed topic, in my opinion. Anyone who has somehow connected himself with software development over the past 5 years has heard these 3 letters with 99% probability. But even despite the abundance of information, people still step on the rake of the “ideal product” when creating projects.



This article does not claim to be the ultimate truth. It's not about the importance and necessity of an MVP. And not about its role in Lean Startup Launch. I'm just speculating about what the MVP should be at the time of pilot market launch.



I'll start with a viral sketch of the MVP startup path that walks the Internet and that you've probably met.

90% of authors literally use illustration in their publications , which misleads readers.



Let's analyze?



The top line has nothing to do with MVP. This is clear. It depicts a classic development cycle. The author used it as an exaggeration for the sake of context in the example below. Of course, there can be no minimum viable product at the first stage with a wheel of speech. The product went through 3 stages of development (wheels, body, engine) before it was able to fulfill its purpose - to drive.



But the second line, in my opinion, also does not quite correctly reflect the MVP principle.

MVP . , , , . , , . , — NoCode .Platforms for developing applications without code are in great demand today. They allow you to create web applications of any complexity faster and cheaper, and the existing freelance NoCode exchanges help you choose the technology that suits your business needs and a trusted specialist. I dare to suggest that the trend towards simplification and cheaper development will only grow. And now is the time to tap into its potential.
