How an MVP Impacts Development and Release

November 30, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

When you hold a brand new released product in your hands, you’re probably not holding
the first version ever made.

To get a product out the door and into store shelves, there is much testing and iterating required to ensure that the product meets a high standard and functions according to consumer expectations.

Creating a minimum viable product that a test audience can try out and provide feedback for can bring an instrumental phase in development where changes can be made and feedback can be taken into account to make the final product a more likely chance at success.

What makes a product viable for release is when it’s measured to be complete enough to be used by consumers without any drastic issue, providing the advertised features and delivering on the market’s need for it.

As products go through frequent iterations, a minimum viable product can be released in order to figure out what changes could be made to improve it before the final build.

Why Businesses Release MVPs

When planning a new release, a business typically engages in many steps to create the product, called a development lifecycle which is the sequence of steps a product takes as its being developed, from concept to release.

To create the products that consumers rely on and want to purchase, MVP development services can determine which concepts can be executed most efficiently and which ones will maximize product reach in the long term.

Deciding when and how to release a product involves testing with early adopters and deciding upon what features would resonate most with audiences, rather than utilizing precious time, money, and development resources on additional features that might not become selling points.

Typically, a product approved for release will have met several goals including a complete list of features that can be decided upon based on the feedback from the minimum viable product trial run.

Businesses choose to do this for their products because they can spread the word about their product, and give it a good jumping-off point for future growth.

One example would be Amazon, which first launched its site selling just books, and from there expanded and expanded to the titan we know today. The most impactful products on shelves today all had a lot of trial and improvement to get where they are.

How MVPs Benefit the Final Product

An unfinished or untested release could lead to some disastrous consequences such as product features not resonating with audiences or technical issues springing up due to lack of testing.

That’s the reason many businesses adopt the format of an MVP release, in order to set realistic goals and obtain feedback on what they’ve developed so far so that they will know where to expand upon going forward.

When entering a product in a competitive market, achieving certain goals are necessary to ensure that the product will find success.

When businesses keep their MVP in mind, they are able to set realistic goals for development and release something that customers can enjoy right then and there, giving them just a taste of what is to come.
