What is discussed
AskMonty AI editorial noteSource consulted:
Before investing in a complete product, find out whether anyone actually wants it. This teaching excerpt from February 2022, linked to Raffaele Gaito in the official feed, introduces the MVP: a small but already useful first version that gathers market feedback. The example is a means of transport that starts with a working skateboard and develops step by step. The aim is to test needs and willingness to pay, then improve the product using what is learned. The feed promotes the session as part of Competenze Business’s subscription Virtual Summits.
Key points
- An MVP makes learning possible with a limited initial investment.
- Testing demand before development reduces the risk of building something nobody wants.
- Each version must already do something useful: a wheel on its own is not enough.
- The test’s time and budget should fit the question being investigated.
- Speaking to potential customers also helps establish whether and how much they would pay.
- Measuring, learning and changing the product form a repeating cycle.
