What is MVP (Minimum Viable Product)?
The smallest version of a product that tests your riskiest assumption with real users.
An MVP is a learning tool, not a cheap version of your dream product. It can be a landing page, a manual (concierge) service or a single-feature app. The goal is maximum learning for minimum time and money.
