What is an MVP?
An MVP, or Minimum Viable Product, is a product with essential features to gain early adopters and collect valuable feedback for future development. The goal of an MVP is to validate the product concept with real customers in a cost-effective and timely manner before investing in a full-fledged product. Startups and businesses can refine their products by gathering feedback from early adopters and making informed decisions on what features to add in future iterations. In short, an MVP is a strategy for testing and refining a product concept quickly with real customers before committing significant resources to full product development.
When is a good time to develop an MVP?
An MVP is essential for businesses in the early stages of product development to validate the product concept with customers and gather feedback. It’s ideal for testing new product ideas, validating the business model, securing funding, reducing development time and costs, and minimizing risk.
However, building an MVP should be based on the business’s needs, goals, and resources. Some businesses may skip the MVP stage and launch a full product, while others may use multiple MVPs to test various aspects of their product and business model.
MVP development process: How to build an MVP
To create an MVP, start with a Design Sprint to validate your idea and determine the essential features. Follow these steps:
- Define your product concept, including your target audience and core features.
- Identify the minimum feature set needed to deliver your product’s core value.
- Build a prototype using low- or high-fidelity tools.
- Test your prototype with users and refine your concept.
- Develop your MVP using Agile or Scrum.
- Launch and gather feedback to refine your product and guide your roadmap.
MVP
development cost
An MVP should be built within 3 to 4 months to learn from users quickly. The cost of an MVP can range from $40k to $100k, depending on the project’s scope and complexity. The price can vary based on factors like the type of product, number of features, scalability, and desired level of polish.
Benefits of an
MVP vs. Prototype
Customer feedback
An MVP allows you to test your product with real customers and receive valuable feedback. A prototype is just a proof-of-concept and doesn’t necessarily involve customer input.
Validation
An MVP is a way to validate your product concept and business model, while a prototype is just a preliminary product version.
Marketability
An MVP has enough features to demonstrate value and can be marketed to early adopters, while a prototype is not yet marketable.
Investment
An MVP requires less investment than a full-fledged product and can help secure funding based on early traction, while a prototype typically requires more resources to develop.
Speed
An MVP can be developed and launched more quickly than a full-fledged product, allowing you to market faster, while a prototype may take longer to develop.
Focus
An MVP allows you to focus on the core features and value proposition, while a prototype may include features that are not necessary for the MVP stage.
Flexibility
An MVP is more flexible and can be easily iterated based on customer feedback, while a prototype may be more rigid and difficult to change.

FAQs
How to validate an MVP
Validating an MVP involves testing its core functionality and value proposition with early users to determine if it solves a real problem and if there is demand.
Also by validating your MVP, you can increase your chances of success and avoid wasting resources on a product that doesn’t solve a real problem. Here are the basic steps:
- Define success metrics tied to product KPIs
- Identify the target audience using methods such as surveys or user interviews
- Create a landing page or prototype to communicate the core value proposition.
- Drive traffic to landing pages or prototypes using social media, paid advertising, or content marketing
- Measure user behavior with analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
- Get user feedback using surveys, user interviews, or usability testing.
- Iterate and improve based on user behavior and feedback.
