Techie Brekkie: Apps - Your Minimum Viable Product

Minimum Viable Product, Minimum Loveable Product, Prototype, First draft, whatever you call it, your application has to start somewhere.

The biggest misconception around the MVP is probably around its essence. What should it contain?

Your MVP is not a scaled down / affordable version of your fully featured app! It's there to determine if your idea is viable or not. For example, "Does you idea solve a problem that people are willing to pay for?"

Perhaps you're new to the world of building apps and are looking for some insight, maybe you're about to build your first app or perhaps you've built a few already and would like to contribute to the discussion - this brekkie will be a great opportunity for all abilities to share their experiences and learn something new.

Kicking things off, with a short talk, will be app expert and Technical Director at CookiesHQ, Nicholas Alpi. This will be followed by a facilitated discussion/ Q&A.

Coffee/tea and brekkie provided as usual!

I've been helping entrepreneurs to refine, plan and create MVP web apps for the past 7 years. Some have been a success, others have failed, and some are still looking for the right market.

Even after 7 years, the process is still an enjoyable thrill. From getting to know somebody and their idea, to releasing the first version and iterating from it - even the heated conversations around which feature to kill. The MVP creation is a brilliant emotional rollercoaster!
