Things to Consider to Ensure a Successful Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Things to Consider to Ensure a Successful Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

This presentation will look at some remarkably successful companies that started with an idea, built a Minimum Viable Product, and never looked back. Learn the patterns and approaches they applied that led to their success and that keep them innovative in a competitive market space. We will examine several case studies from Dropbox, AirBnB, Groupon, Twitter, and Spotify. Then we will define what a MVP is and how the approach can be applied using tools like the Lean Canvas. We will look at 10 MVP patterns and approaches that can be applied to validate your product with your market. Just to keep it real the presentation will close with some reasons why MVPs fail.

This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.

Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies.

Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
