John B. Petersen III’s answer at Quora http://qr.ae/R4pog1 brought be here and I’m glad it did. I’m in the early Stage phase of my Web Startup (Pre Launch Splash Page about to go live) and at STEP 1 now. This post on MVP solidified all my assumptions and strategies.

Thank You and Very well done! Shared already!

Here is an amazing answer to this from Alex Iskold: https://alexiskold.net/2015/10/07/re-thinking-viability-of-your-mvp/ In short… “MVP is good enough, and can be improved to be great one day. Prototype isn’t good enough”

Perhaps have a look at Templeton Compression and Sequoia’s model of the Sales Ready Product (SRP), which they position as a contextually viable alternative to the MVP. It’s bare-bones but interesting. https://www.inkling.com/sequoia/

Two mistakes I made in my past was not building a finished “enough” core product (step 0-4). When you then subsequently start building platform features around the basically non viable core product (mostly by not listening to feedback from early tests), it creates the state of chaos you describe.

Another problem that many lean/agile organizations fail from is to create a final product from a list of features by following an agile approach. I was very inspired by “User Story Mapping” of Jeff Patton that puts a roadmap on top of the backlog of features that lead to a product that has a lot of features but no meaning.

I had to smile at your example of ecommerce and the necessity of search. In our case of ZeroLight we are redesigning the car configurator of the future by allowing full 3d exploration and configuration as a core product. This however needs a rethink of explore and find and purchase together with our partners that can be compared to the change of going from a list site (like Yahoo originally was) towards Google (based on user input). Only then can we come to a final MVP beyond replacing the old.
