I like the idea of writing out the steps a user takes to tackle a problem then pick the one or two steps that your product/service and improve upon (or remove altogether).

Agreed. I like that this approach forces you to consciously commit to capturing those (and only those) one or two steps in a product.

I also liked the fact that the author uses existing/established players to complement rather than compete with your product by drawing the end line there -- a solid MVP strategy.
