MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product, a.k.a. the simplest version of your product that you can release to the market. It is the version that only has the core features to solve a problem and meets early adopters’ needs. It is all about: Test a concept with real users.  Reduce risk, time and cost by focusing on developing only on the core features. Get real insights from the early adopters to improve your product.
