Episode notes
MVP Cubed
- A client struggled to launch a new product after excessively refining their MVP.
- The product became so minimal that it lost all business value, leaving the team unmotivated.
Misinterpreting MVP
- MVPs should focus on delivering value to the client, not just internal feasibility.
- Repeatedly minimizing an MVP shifts the focus from external value to internal constraints.

- Internal improvements, like re-platforming, are valid but not MVPs.
- Focus on client value; if no one is excited, it's not a true MVP.
