Time to market is pertinent in every industry. In the technology world, the concept of MVP (Minimally Viable Product) is a development technique in which a new product or service is developed with sufficient features to satisfy early adopters, the final product or pilot is only designed and deployed after receiving feedback from an initial set of users.The problem with "MVP thinking" is that one can make the mistake of launching a barely functioning product without enough thought and consideration.
