Minimum Viable Product Template – MVP (Powerpoint)

What does “Minimum Viable Product” mean?

A “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP) is a simple first version of a product.

It is a cut-back set of features:-

1. To enable a rapid launch
2. To maximise competitive advantage
3. To reduce time wasted on features that users may not want

Deciding on your MVP will require ruthless prioritisation of your product backlog.

Beware: your stakeholders may want to squeeze-in their features, so be prepared to warn them that this will cause delays and reduce advantage.
