Okay, that's not the definition of "minimum viable product" I've heard and used.
I thought it was... well, the minimum viable product. Meaning it's a product. Which is viable.
So, okay, apparently "MVP" doesn't mean much anymore.
I'd call that definition of an "MVP" something else. Like, I dunno, a prototype? Minimum viable prototype? I guess that still has the same acronym...
Even the wikipedia article says "A minimum viable product has just those core features that allow the product to be deployed, and no more." It's the product. Deployed. Not a drawing. A drawing is not the product unless your business is selling drawings.
