Identifying the NVP in Product Development

Identifying the n v p is a key part in scoping a product, because it helps you identify the most important thing to build. This lets you focus your design and development efforts to create a hopefully useful product that you can deliver to customers quickly. With a lean approach, you build the simplest thing you can, gather data about how customers use it, and then refine the product if needed. Contrast this with non mvp based approaches to product development, which are especially common in waterfall development.
