The myth of the perfect product.
Perfectionism is a productivity killer…
It prevents us from launching
It hinders customer feedback
It delays growth
The truth? Progress is built on iterations.
Launch with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to test assumptions
Then, iterate towards a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP) to delight customers
We’ve all struggled with whether to focus on MVP or MLP.
That’s when understanding the differences helps.
Use these key takeaways to guide your product development:
1. MVPs validate demand, while MLPs validate delight.
2. MVPs are about functionality, while MLPs are about user experience.
3. MVPs are built for early adopters, while MLPs are built for the masses.
It's not about building the perfect product.
It's about building a product that solves real problems.
Start small, gather feedback, and iterate towards greatness.
You can build a product that delights.
