Finding Your MVP – An introduction to Story Mapping

What is an MVP? Chances are, if you’re a sports fan, you answered “Most Valuable Player”.

But this talk isn’t about that MVP; Minimum Viable Product (MVP) was introduced to the agile community by Eric Ries in his 2011 book The Lean Startup. The idea was to have a conceptual model in which a team with some assumption and/or a leap of faith could identify the least amount of work required, to start getting feedback from their users. But like most things, in the world of Agile, MVP is a term that people have struggled with since the concept was introduced. After all, how minimal is an MVP supposed to be.
