With digitalisation and the rise of digital start-ups, the processes of creating new business models and products have evolved rapidly. This evolution has been driven by the emergence of new approaches to business and innovation management techniques and methods, one of which is the MVP. The Minimum Viable Product is a set of requirements that a product must meet during its development in order to be genuinely relevant to the customer, to be marketed and thus to generate revenue. The development of the MVP is also based on the continuous collection of information, as well as on feedback and decision-making based on this data. This course: “MVP: ”What it is and how to create your own" will give you the tools and skills what you need to know to implement it.
