Stop Creating Maximal Voluminous Products for Your ‘MVPs’

A maximal voluminous product takes a lot longer to build than a minimal viable product. You are much more likely to ship way late, be significantly over budget, and be late to the market if you ship a maximal voluminous product. And then, of course, because you spent so much time building this maximal voluminous product, you no longer have time and budget to iterate, which is the entire point of an MVP.

A minimal viable product is supposed to be a foundation. It’s something you can build on for years to come and something that is going to support future product growth. A minimal viable product needs to nail its core experience and include core features that help users solve problems, and it will often lack a wide feature set. Those additional features will come in phase 2, phase 3, etc., after a solid foundational MVP has been delivered.

yeaah that is really something
