Drei Fragen, die Sie sich stellen sollten, bevor Sie ein MVP erstellen.

"Wir wollen nicht das Minimum, wir wollen das Perfekte" - Viele sagen das immer noch, trotz des erwiesenen Erfolgs von MVPs. Stimmt, wer möchte nicht das perfekte Produkt oder zumindest das bestmögliche Produkt entwickeln? Aber die Wahrheit ist, dass Perfektion ein Mythos ist, vor allem in einer sich schnell verändernden, technologiegesteuerten, postmodernen Welt.

Viele erfolgreiche Produkte von heute haben mit einem MVP begonnen. Es gibt jedoch keinen gemeinsamen Konsens unter den Technikexperten darüber, was ein MVP ausmacht. Minimum kann minimale Funktionen oder minimales Budget bedeuten. Manche ziehen es vor, Minimum Lovable Products oder Minimum Marketable Products zu entwickeln. Wie auch immer Sie es nennen, wenn ein MVP die erste Version eines Produkts ist, die veröffentlicht wird, sollten Sie sich vor der Erstellung drei Fragen stellen.

1. Who are your customers and how will your product affect their lives? Research what your customers need to define your product goals. Also, having an idea of how your competitors fulfil customers’ needs helps you identify gaps in their offerings. These may be included in the MVP requirements or in the product backlog.
2. What hypotheses are you testing with your MVP? MVPs are not just the first version of your product. They are meant to test your riskiest assumptions. Design your MVP as an experiment to test your assumptions.
3. How do you plan to collect feedback from your early customer? Commonly called ‘Beta’, marketing teams collect feedback from customers, analyse feedback, and use it to define features to be included in the next versions.

The Next Step

Once you’ve identified your customers and made your product plan, plunge without further delay into giving your ideas shape. You need to build the MVP as fast as you can, but without rushing or freezing the requirements. It may feel too overwhelming at times. Hence, it is wise to outsource MVP development to product engineering experts. As your products gain acceptance and business grows, so will your outsourcing teams. An offshore team doesn’t just help you with product development but also provides you with the time and peace of mind needed to plan, strategize, and market your creations.
