MVP
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Minimum Viable Product: Build a product version with minimal resources that can validate core assumptions, quickly obtain user feedback, and iterate for improvement.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Use action instead of speculation. Break the obsession with 'perfection before release', quickly validate market assumptions with minimal investment, and reduce the cost of trial and error.
Anchor fast decisions
In an uncertain market, investing in a full product prematurely is highly risky. MVP uses minimal resources to build a version that 'just enough to validate core assumptions', replacing subjective guesses with real user feedback, making learning faster than burning money, and exposing the risk of 'whether it is worth doing' early.
