What an MVP really is
An MVP is not a half-built product. It is the smallest release designed to validate the riskiest assumption.
A good MVP process
1. Define problem and ICP 2. Pick one core user flow 3. Cut nice-to-have features 4. Define measurement 5. Release fast and learn
Common mistake
Treating MVP as phase-one of the full backlog instead of a learning vehicle.
