Could have saved months in development time, and arrived and product/market fit or non-viable product in weeks instead of 4 months! MVP applies to everything I do now. I'd like to share two other examples of MVP with readers: 1. Tim Ferris: testing book titles using Google ads driving traffic to landing pages. 2. Selling Blue Elephants: for these fellows, an MVP is a set of elements including a headline, photo, and randomized benefit list shown to thousands of people in hundreds of combinations. In this case MVP combines with Multivariate testing to provide powerful insights about people's nuanced preferences. In their framework, there is one magical set of elements that people like and will buy. I am interested in more examples of people's creative interpretations of MVP!

What does it do at its very core? The answer to this question is vital to a successful product, its design and its development. Anything else is just noise.

These are also no-or-low maintenance just like Google Docs.
