Wie gehen Sie mit Risiken bei der MVP-Entwicklung um?

In my experience, many innovations never started with a clear vision of the end product, especially when that product is not being designed, or envisioned, based on market demands! The great inventors had a goal of creating products that serve society nonetheless, hence they may have had such a proposition in mind. More later….

EXPERIMENT BY PRETOTYPING instead of PROTOTYPING… What is pretotyping? YOU FAKE IT BEFORE YOU MAKE IT 🤗✅. Check it out here … Pretotyping is a technique for testing hypotheses and validating ideas quickly and cost-effectively, founded by Savoia. It involves creating a simplified version of a product or service to collect user feedback and understand market demand. For example, in the food industry, a company may pretotype a new salad recipe by offering a limited quantity to a small group of potential customers to gauge their interest before investing in full-scale production. Pretotyping helps reduce the risk of failure by assessing market response early in the development process. Check out an example of Tesla later in this article.

"learn from your mistakes & failures" is a harsh terminology. The purpose of the MVP is just that, however a more positive terminology was defined by Thomas Edison: Experiment to find out what works and what doesn't work. There are four main purposes for MVP: >> Experiment for the right technical approach. >> Collect early adaptors feedback. >> Use the above inflection points to augment the valuation of the startup and attract investments. >> Modify and expand incrementally based on the technical and market feedback to improve feasibility, manufacturability, and market fit.

PRETOTYPE AND IMPROVE LIKE TESLA Tesla used a Lotus Elise to interest potential buyers for their first car. In 2003, the founders of Tesla had an ambitious idea (an all-electric 2-door sports car). In order to convince potential buyers to order its car, Tesla created a pretotype of what the car would look like. Lotus supplied Tesla with a ‘glider’ Elise - which was filled with models of key components. This was not a prototype, because the vehicle didn’t function. Tesla was able to show buyers a close proxy for the final design. Tesla asked “Will you put down a $5,000 deposit to have it built to order?” From this test Tesla secured several hundred deposits, a non-trivial result to reassure their Investors.
