When developing a project there are many things to to consider. What color the background should be? What features do you think would make the functionality of the more suitable for the user? Sometimes when creating a product the most effective method to develop it is through is to use the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
Minimum Viable Product is a term that represents an important stage in software development. The basis of Minimum Viable Product is to think about what the product needs in order to function at its most basic level. By isolating these important features it allow a developer to focus on the most important parts of the product and allows them to develop those aspects. Minimum Viable Product is a term that was named in 2009 by Eric Reis in his book “The Learn Startup”.
After these core aspects of the product are identified the development of the product can begin. After all of these aspects of the project are developed to the your satisfaction, the testing cycle can begin. This is the most important aspect of Minimum Viable Product process. Since the product only has the basic features, the testing process is important in order to get feedback on the product. The feedback will allow you to better refine the product to better suit the target customer. Testing usually goes through multiple cycles to get the best product possible.
The reason why this process caught so much traction is because when developing a product the last thing you would want to do is to waste time and money. Using the Minimum Viable Product process it allows the developer to show the customer the general idea of the product and get input from the consumers on what they would like to see in the final implementation of the project.
When I first heard about MVP I did not think that much about it. However after looking into the subject more it gave me a better understanding of how a developer would think.
