MVPs often means different things depending on who you ask. Is it a quick experiment to learn from? A bare-bones product launched to market? Or something more nuanced like a Minimum Lovable Product that delights users? These questions are more than academic. They affect how teams build, launch, and iterate on new products.
We recently hosted a fast-paced 60-minute panel discussion with two experts who see MVPs from very different but complementary angles: Angelo Zanetti, CEO and Co-Founder of Cape Town software agency Elemental, and Chris Metcalfe, Co-Founder of UX research studio How Might We.
The conversation explored the tension and connection between building an MVP that’s technically sound and one that is truly user-centred.
