The motivation behind the MVP is still valid: Build something small, because small things are predictable and inexpensive to test.Get it into the market quickly, because real learning occurs only when real customers are using a real product.Trash it if it’s a flop, or invest if it’s a seedling with potential. MVPs are great for startups and product teams because they maximize validated learning about customers as quickly as possible. The problem is that customers hate MVPs.

Introducing The Customer Happiness Canvas – Andy Cars – Medium. When I designed the Customer Happiness Canvas the aim was to create a tool that provides structure and context for discussing and visualizing the tactics and strategies a startup team employs for getting and keeping customers.

Early stage startups natural focus is on customer engagement and loyalty, but as they get closer to problem-solution fit, they tend to shift focus towards optimizing onboarding. Arguably, these are the two most important areas to get right if you want to build a repeatable and scalable business model. At the center of the Customer Happiness Canvas is a circle for the customer. 10 Resources to Help You Grow a Lean Startup — Product Hunt.

Among various definitions, we can describe MVP as a product built from the smallest set of features that delivers customer value. But what does “the smallest set of features” mean, and how can we define this? In todays post we would like to share with you a technique which we have learned and which helps us to define and manage the scope of MVP. 60 percent of the features we build is waste In the movie “Chef” Carl Castor (portrayed by Jon Favreau) complains that whenever he decides to cook something extraordinary, people don’t buy his dish, but at the same time, when he prepares something popular he is bashed by critics.
