What is an MVP?
Options
- Minimum Viable Product: the smallest useful version (Correct option)
- Most Valuable Programmer on the engineering team
- Maximum Value Plan for the budget of the year
- Main Visual Page of the website of a company
Answer
Minimum Viable Product: the smallest version that delivers real value and lets you learn from users
Why
Instead of building everything for months, a team ships a small but usable version first, watches how people use it, and then improves it.
It reduces the risk of building something nobody wants.
In an interview, 'I started with an MVP and iterated' is a good way to describe handling vague requirements.
Remember
MVP = smallest useful version, then iterate.
