What is an MVP?

It is rightly said that take the first step, no matter how small your step is, but take your first step, and everything else will follow to your greater dream. Well,the Minimum Viable Product or popularly known as MVP, is the first step to your greater dream. It is small, has minimum features, and is not just a first step, but it is outright a smart first step!

A look at our MVP development process!

A new product development like MVP is a process of increments & iterations. That’s why creating an MVP is like building a train. In the first place, only the engine & limited compartments are added. But as the trains run to and fro and the demand seems to increase, more compartments are added like AC coaches, first-classes, etc.

Planning & discussion sessions

The first and most crucial area of creating an MVP is conducting scoping sessions with clients. Because if the foundation is set right, everything else will be alright. Through the scoping sessions, we determine what the client is aiming for with the product and how it can be achieved.

This is followed by strategising the entire development, reviewing your idea and choosing the technical stack for the go. To give a concrete touch to the product, we provide a scope of work underlining all the requirements and goals, along with a ballpark estimation of your project. Planning & discussion sessions are essential for both the client as well as the development team as it helps in sailing through the entire process smoothly & fruitfully for the long-term goal ahead!

Choosing the key feature

Once we get a clear idea of what the client wants, we foray into selecting key features & functionalities that will profitably backup your entire product and will give an edge to the product. Based on your business potential, we list all the features & functionalities that can support your MVP apps and then prioritise the key elements that form your app's core. Also, adding a Unique Selling Proposition (USP) along with the core features holds an integral part in an MVP to enhance your app to its full potential.

Turning your idea into a concrete prototype.

Once the main features are selected, and the product is strategised, the next step is prototyping the app. Determining the buttons, the clickables, the swipes throughs, the scrolls, everything comes in prototyping. Here, we constantly take in your feedback to ensure we get things right and bright while developing your app.

Designing design-led incredible experience

Here our design strategists rope in to turn your concrete prototype into a concrete beautiful designed MVP. Designing is an MVP software development service that helps in giving your desired experience to your users with an amazing look and feel of the app. Besides designing an MVP that is aesthetically pleasing, we ensure that our design leads to incredible MVP apps experience with effortless interactions as well. Our MVP designs are focused on giving your users a reflection of your brand identity and what it is truly about.

Developing the MVP

The final yet chief step of Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Development Services is to create a tangible MVP based product. Once your MVP is ready, we launch on the App stores and let it be used/tested by real users, who are quick to give feedback. We keenly follow what the users have to say about the product. After having a detailed discussion with you about the updates/suggestions, we look into iterating based on the recommendations. The feedback gained here is precious and greatly helps know the product’s potential in the market.

Classic MVP examples!

Facebook

Facebook now Meta is an excellent example of MVP app built through this approach. Initially, a college website directory, Facebook or ‘TheFacebook’ created by Mark Zuckerberg, was only created for Harvard students. But only Facebook’s first MVP paved the way for Facebook to be what Facebook is today- yes, Meta! The website got developed with time and has totally gone beyond what Zuckerberg & his roommates envisioned back in 2004, making their way through the unseen & the extraordinary!

Airbnb

What started as a website offering accommodation to folks visiting San Francisco (SF) in a conference turned into a hospitality giant worldwide. Founded by Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, the founders had no such plans. They were only focused on giving out beds or mattresses for some cash. Still, only after the first MVP, did they realise they had tapped into an area that was a trouble to many. Airbnb or AirBed&Breakfast no sooner transferred into an end to end accommodation solution with private homes, islands, apartments listed on the website.

Instagram

Launched with the name of Burbn in 2010, Instagram was not even Instagram when it started as a location-sharing app along with pictures. The photo-sharing feature became an immediate success, with users liking it. Facebook at that point also had similar options, but what made Instagram unique was that it also allowed editing pictures as well as sharing. The makers took advantage of that point and made editing & sharing photos their app’s forte. And it was no sooner than Burbn, a location-sharing platform, transferred into Instagram - the world’s most loved photo-sharing platform!
