Customer Discovery Process
1. State your assumptions/hypotheses
2. Test your assumption/hypotheses
3. Test your product concept
4. Evaluate; next steps
Debrief customer interviews
01 How many customer interviews did you
do? With who?
02 What did they say?
03 What did you learn?
How has your thinking evolved around key assumptions /
hypotheses around risks:
• PRODUCT RISK: What are you solving? (problem)
• How might customers perceive the your problem(s) compared with how you thought of
them?
• MARKET RISK: Who is the competition? (existing alternatives)
• How do customers solve these problems today?
• CUSTOMER RISK: Who has the pain? (customer segments)
• Is this a viable customer segment?

learning objectives
What is a Minimum
Viable Product?
by the end of lesson 2 you will
– Understand the concept of a Minimum
Viable Product (MVP)
– Create a plan to make your own MVP
– Get feedback from your peers on your MVP
MVP: What? Why?
A Minimum Viable Product is that version of a new
product which allows a team to collect the maximum
amount of validated learning about customers with
the least effort. - Ries
A Minimum Viable Product is the
smallest thing you can build that
delivers customer value (and as a
bonus captures some of that value
back). - Maurya
Simplest thing you can show to customers
to get the most learning at that point in
time -- Blank.

the most basic way possible?
• What are you testing for? Does this test that?

Editor's Notes

  • #7 We asked to you identify assumptions around key risks for a target market segment, then develop some interview questions and practice getting out of the building.
  • #8 A living breathing document Your roadmap to creating a viable business model You have the canvas, but its not enough, you have to get out of the building. Why?
  • #15 NOT JUST A CHEAP VERSION OF THE PRODUCT GOAL IS LEARNING MVPs EVOLVE OVER TIME BLANK – COULD BE A POWERPOINT SLIDE DURING A SOLUTION INTERVIEW Maurya’s definition is stricter in that it requires getting some value back: https://leanstack.com/minimum-viable-product/ Simplest thing you can show to customers to get the most learning at that point in time. In product development, the minimum viable product (MVP) is a product which has just enough features to gather validated learning about the product and its continued development.
