“… MVP is that product which has just those features (and no more) that

allows you to ship a product that resonates with early adopters; some of whom will

pay you money or give you feedback.”

“The MVP is often an ad on Google. Or a PowerPoint slide. Or a dialog box. Or a landing page.

You can often build it in a day or a week.”

— Eric Ries
