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 business and innovation management techniques and methods, one of which is the MVP. The Minimum Viable Product is a set of requirements that the development of a product must meet in order to be truly 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 yours” will give you the tools and skills you need to know to implement it.
