Hi HN,

I'm currently in the first stage of gathering some data for a presentation on Minimal Viable Prototypes and I am looking for some input, specifically what were your most important lessons learned in a failed or successful MVP?

Any input or resources that helped you is greatly welcomed!

Getting to the MVP is more about determining what are the riskiest propositions of your envisioned product first and overcoming them - an MVP is not just the minimal acceptable collection of features. Get the most difficult items out of the way first, don't just try and come up with a collection of easy features someone might buy.

I have a bad habit! I always want to do everything at once - but if you listen to the client it is better to do the most important thing for the client, but very well - and say a high price. In this way you will have the energy for further improvements.
