An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version of your product that real users can try. Its job is to test your idea quickly, not to be perfect.
1. Define the one problem you solve
Write down who your user is and the single problem you solve for them. Every feature in the MVP should serve that problem.
2. Scope ruthlessly
List every feature you want, then cut the list in half. Then cut it again. What remains is your MVP.
3. Design before you build
Clickable prototypes let you test the flow with real users before writing code. Changes at this stage are cheap.
4. Build, launch and learn
Ship to a small group first, watch how they use it, and improve based on real data rather than guesses.
