Start-ups use it to find answers to important questions:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Does the product solve a genuine customer problem?<\/li>\n<li>Are users willing to pay for this?<\/li>\n<li>Which features are really important?<\/li>\n<li>How do users actually behave?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantages of an MVP are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>rapid time-to-market<\/li>\n<li>lower financial risk<\/li>\n<li>early customer feedback<\/li>\n<li>better product-market fit<\/li>\n<li>more efficient use of resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, an MVP also has its limitations:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>may appear incomplete or underdeveloped<\/li>\n<li>requires clear communication of the product concept<\/li>\n<li>should not be confused with a poorly made end product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the start-up context, the MVP is a key step between the idea phase and scaling up. It helps to test assumptions before making larger investments in development and growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">innoWerft supports founders in strategically developing MVPs, testing them effectively and using the results to make data-driven product decisions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MVP, or Minimum Viable Product, is a concept from the lean startup methodology that focuses on developing a product with the minimum necessary features to make it available to early adopters and gather valuable feedback.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-glossareintrag"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Was ist ein MVP (Minimum Viable Product)?
