MVP and Proof of Concept Development
MVP and proof of concept development builds a small first version that tests the assumption most likely to be wrong. Real users try it before the full budget is committed.
Proof of concept, or a first product
The two are different builds. One answers whether a thing can be done at all, and the other answers whether anybody wants it.
What gets cut, and what stays
Features can be cut. Logins, backups and the data model are kept, because a first version passes its shortcuts on to every later one.
After the first version
There are two outcomes. Either people use it and the build continues, or they do not, and that is learned before the full budget is spent.
Frequently asked questions
What does an MVP and proof of concept build include?
The smallest set of screens that lets someone finish a real task, plus logins, a sound database and a way to see what gets used. Everything else waits.
Can it be shown to investors?
Yes. A working screen with real data shows more than a deck does, as long as nobody claims it does more than it does.
Do we throw it away later?
Not usually, provided the data model was done properly. Screens get replaced as you learn. The database and core rules carry into the full product.
