MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
The smallest version of a product that delivers real value and validates the core bet.
A minimum viable product (MVP) is the smallest releasable version of a product that solves the core problem for real users, so you can validate demand and learn before investing in the full build.
A good MVP is not a low-quality product - it is a focused one. It ships the few features that prove the value proposition, with production-grade quality on that narrow scope.
Scoping an MVP well is mostly about what to leave out. StackLift's estimate flow separates must-ship-now from later phases so the first release is lean and fundable.
