With the expertise of our CEO, we've put together a webinar about MVP readiness. If you're low on time, budget, and resources, build a lean solution. A minimum viable product has enough design and development to launch within a shorter time frame. Not only do you save time and money, you'll be able to make iterations and versions post-launch.
See how to prepare for an MVP with Ali Allage, the CEO of Boost Labs.

Objective
The objective of this webinar is to provide a basic guidance on how to best
approach your next Data Analytics MVP (Minimal Viable Product) project. These
basics won’t address all possible challenges, as it is just meant to be a starting
point. If you have a specific challenge not addressed in this webinar, please free to
reach out to me directly.

work to properly structure the data in order for it to be useable?
● Data Cleanliness – How clean is the data? Are you working with an accurate
data set?
● Data Accuracy & Ingestion – Is the data correct? How does new data get
added?

Product Vision & Validation (continued)
● User Flows / Flow Charts. How will the user flow thru the product? Were flow
diagrams created to show process within the product?
● Wireframes / Mockups / Clickable Prototypes / Proof of Concept. What tools
are being used to bring the idea into reality with visual examples?
● Branding or Style Guidelines. Is there a document defining logo usage, brand
colors, typography, etc.?

Case Study - Consumer Behavioral Application
Our challenge was to create an application that
allowed users to navigate through hierarchical data
while at the same time making complex boolean
rules for campaign creation. Data included in the
project was focused on Internet user activity and
survey related data.
We created, what we called, a“Rainbow Matrix
Sphere Grid” design to help solve our client’s
challenge. Users can select multiple items for a
campaign, visualize relationships between all
items, see the population that the campaign can
target, and create interlinking boolean rules.

Case Study - Project Goals
● Architect new data taxonomy to support the application
● Setup a new data distribution environment with dictionary to support the
application
● Design and develop a custom interface with visualization to help support
end-user workflows
● Guidance in technical solutions for business analysis, data warehousing, and
data analysis
15. 15
Case Study - End Result
● Data Analytics Product - Created a data analytics product that allows end
users to build advertising campaigns on audiences that share common
interests.
● Data Environment - Worked with the client on the design and construction
of a subscription database that distributes data to the applications.

Case Study - Return on Investment
● New application allows the end user to gain more intelligence through an
improved interface/visualization
● Scalable solution that reduces the cost of feature enhancements through
version rollouts
● Increased revenues with subscriptions and custom report generation
