In freemium business model, business tiers start with a "free" tier Freemium is a pricing strategy by which a product or service (typically a digital offering such as software, media, games or web services) is provided free of charge, but money (premium) is charged for proprietary features, functionality, or virtual goods.[1][2] The word "freemium" is a portmanteau neologism combining the two aspects of the business model: "free" and "premium".

Freemium

Origin[edit] Give your service away for free, possibly ad supported but maybe not, acquire a lot of customers very efficiently through word of mouth, referral networks, organic search marketing, etc., then offer premium priced value added services or an enhanced version of your service to your customer base. Jarid Lukin of Alacra then suggested the term "freemium" for this model.[3] The freemium model is closely related to tiered services.

Other examples include free-to-play games – video games that can be downloaded without paying. See also[edit] Pipes from duerer. Recently Last.FM with 8 Flickr images.

Let’s talk about Agile software development from the perspective of the Product Owner. Here’s Pat. Here are the stakeholders. The stakeholder needs are expressed as user stories. Now, somebody has to BUILD the system. This queue needs to be managed. Minimum viable product. In product development, the minimum viable product (MVP) is a strategy used for fast and quantitative market testing of a product or product feature.

Minimum viable product

The term was coined by Frank Robinson and popularized by Eric Ries for web applications.[1][2] It may also involve carrying out market analysis beforehand. Description[edit] A minimum viable product has just those core features that allow the product to be deployed, and no more. The product is typically deployed to a subset of possible customers, such as early adopters that are thought to be more forgiving, more likely to give feedback, and able to grasp a product vision from an early prototype or marketing information. It is a strategy targeted at avoiding building products that customers do not want, that seeks to maximize the information learned about the customer per dollar spent.

An MVP is not a minimal product,[3] it is a strategy and process directed toward making and selling a product to customers. Techniques[edit] See also[edit]
