I want my MVP

About this Workshop

There is some confusion about the concept of Minimum Viable Product. For some it's a way of learning what your users value, for others it's release #1 of your product or service. For many designers it's synonymous with having all their interaction design flourishes and 'signature moments' slashed to get the product out the door.

I think it's time that UXers claimed MVPs for their own and started using them as a tool to ask not only 'how do we build this?', but 'should we build this?'.

So in this workshop we'll:

• remind ourselves why it's important to question assumptions that underpin product or feature ideas
• practice identifying risky assumptions
• learn about different kinds of MVPs and experiments, and what works in what situation
• practice choosing an MVP type and defining experiments for a given scenario
