Demystifying: Finding your MVP within your idea will explore jargon commonly used in the early stages of startups. Learn how to take an idea down to a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) by dissecting the core functionality of your idea into which Value Propositions you are bringing to which Customer Segment. After that, we will learn how to Scope out the Life Cycle of your idea to prototype and then an MVP.
Questions we will answer:
- What is a Prototype?
- What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?
- What are Value Propositions?
- What are Customer Segments?
- How to Scope an Idea into an MVP Life Cycle?
Entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and business owners deal with this issue at many stages in their careers.
