What is an MVP?
“The minimum amount of effort you have
to do to complete exactly one turn of the
Build-Measure-Learn feedback loop.”
- Eric Ries
“ A product with the fewest number of
Features needed to achieve a specific
Objective, and users are willing to “pay”
For”
Not: MVP ≠ a functioning product
MVP = Experiment
(Think: Minimum Viable Experiment)
Goal
• Maximum validated learning with:
• minimum effort.
• Minimum opportunity cost.
• Rapid testing and iteration.
..completing 1 loop with minimum effort

Validation through prototyping and customer insight
Customer Interview:
they had this problem OR they don’t have this problem < simple!
Where? Get out of the building! on the street, in a cafe, phone call
Concierge prototype:
• Landing pages
• Phone calls
• Tweeting
• Acting!

Takeaways from the experience
Working “lean” is addictive – always look for the more minimum
MVP in everything we do
Learning not to “fall in love” but discovering the right solution to
a problem is far more valuable (guilty!)
Getting out of the building is less scary than it sounds
Rigorous focus on delivering value
Validated learning from failed or successful MVP’s is a valuable
currency for any business
