The term "Minimal Viable Product" has become so widely used that is seems to have lost its meaning. There is growing confusion whether the MVP is a "pre-launch" version of an online or mobile produce, or an "alpha" or "beta".
Creating the MVP is an excellent way of establishing whether a business idea is likely to fly in the real world. But, all too often I see people getting tanged up in the technicalities of what the MVP should include. And, when that happens, the purpose that the MVP should serve becomes forgotten or lost.
This presentation shows you how a logical process of creating two MVPs in quick succession will help anyone that is creating a web or mobile product to spend less time and money on creating a sustainable business by minimising the risk of "getting it wrong".
The advice applies to anyone, no matter how big or small the budget. And I can wholeheartedly testify that people who have applied this precise process have:
1. Saved hundreds of hours of efforts which would have taken them in the wrong direction,
2. Helped businesses that had built a product but found uptake lacklustre to reposition their offering to attract a much higher rate of customer acquisition and retention.
Enjoy :)
Embracing Startup Life and learning to think The Startup WayBen Hall
The document provides advice and perspectives on embracing startup life and thinking like a startup. It emphasizes the importance of solving real problems, getting early customers to pay for products to validate ideas, and releasing minimum viable products quickly through a process of building, testing, and iterating based on customer feedback. While the startup journey is challenging and uncertain, the document encourages persevering through inevitable struggles and setbacks to eventually achieve success, as illustrated by the example of Elon Musk's experiences in 2008.

- Edouard de Raulin, VP Sales Southern Europe at Adyen will give you some tricks to optimise your paiements to increase your growth.
Innovation is one of the ultimate buzzwords of our era but what is it really? What is its meaning? How can we see it? Replicate it? Scale it? In his talk, I propose that innovation really is the “removal of friction” from a system; and that through this lens we can understand the rise of design, lean startup, Silicon Valley and possibly many other innovative happenings across time.
The talk covers the following topics:
1. The Real Lesson Steve Jobs Taught Us
2. The Rise of Design
3. Innovation = The Removal Of Friction?
4. Co-opting Innovation
The document discusses the typical life of a corporate developer and proposes an alternative vision brought about by a "digital fairy." It describes how a corporate developer's job could be more fulfilling by working in small, self-organized teams, embracing agile practices, collaborating directly with customers, and having more autonomy like a startup. The digital fairy's intervention would help developers be treated as serious drivers of digital transformation rather than being frustrated by processes and restrictions.

Webinar 2 How to optimize your mobile user onboarding (With: Ariel Kedem f...Roy Povarchik
This document provides tips on optimizing mobile onboarding experiences through four topics: onboarding myths, user engagement, personalized experiences, and retention tools. It discusses common onboarding mistakes to avoid, such as providing one experience for all users or not allowing users to skip onboarding. The document also covers testing different onboarding flow types like benefits-focused, functionality-focused, and walkthroughs. It emphasizes the importance of analyzing data from tests to iterate onboarding quickly based on user behavior and drop-offs.
What do people think about MVP? What does the experts say?
Here's our view for the Minimum Viable Product and the approach we are using to validate ideas and help startups reach Product-Market fit in the shortest period of time, without burning away all of their budget.
This document provides information about prototyping and experiments for product development. It discusses the importance of validating solutions with customers through prototyping to ensure problems are being solved. Low-fidelity prototyping techniques like paper prototyping are recommended for initial validation before advancing to higher fidelity digital prototypes. User testing of prototypes is highlighted as a way to get feedback on designs and learn about customers. The document also covers topics like minimum viable products, experimentation, and new technologies that could be explored.
This document describes two agile product design sprint models: the Funsize Agile 2-Week Design Sprint and the Outcomes Based 5-Day Google Sprint. The Funsize sprint is for long-term projects with incremental delivery every 2 weeks, while the 5-day sprint creates measurable outcomes within a week. Both methods emphasize collaborative story planning, estimation, prototyping, and user validation. The document provides an example workshop applying the models to the mobile app for a bookkeeping startup.
DevDay 2013 - Building Startups and Minimum Viable ProductsBen Hall
DevDay (http://devday.pl),
20th of September 2013, Kraków
Video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4eTOvq2WmM&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLBMFXMTB7U74NdDghygvBaDcp67owVUUF
As designers and agency owners we constantly manage the chaos of mastering a craft, being diverse, all the while trying to differentiate ourselves and adapting our processes and deliverables in an industry that changes at lightening speeds. As if the web wasn’t difficult enough, the advent of mobile product design and service design has created an entirely new industry and career paths, completely disrupting everything we knew about engagements, processes, deliverables, and expectations of design teams and agencies.
Face it, the industry is constantly changing and so should we. Let’s learn to embrace change and use it to intentionally position ourselves for constant reinvention and how to fashion the skills and environments necessary for creating meaningful products in the modern age and beyond.
Presented at Owner Summit 2015, Austin Texas
The document provides an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) and how business owners can get started leveraging AI in their stores. It begins by debunking common myths that AI requires extensive technical skills or resources. The document then discusses what AI and machine learning are, how they work, and why they are suddenly gaining popularity. It outlines several ways businesses can use AI, such as building chatbots, implementing recommendation engines, and enabling predictive customer engagement. The document concludes by recommending businesses start experimenting with AI now using various online tools and platforms and considers AI as a way to augment human capabilities.
Spend Stack is a shopping list app that keeps a running total of items including sales tax. The app has a simple user interface that allows users to view and manage multiple shopping lists. The developer's goals in creating the app were to build up their portfolio, help solve the common problem of managing shopping lists, and hook into the iOS community. However, the app did not see much success upon initial release, selling only 4 units. The developer discusses lessons learned around using newer technologies, focusing on usability, marketing and community engagement to help future app projects.
Have you heard this in your organization?
users hate change.
Usually it’s right before a major release, prepping for the coming storm, or right after a release when the customer service is screaming about all the screaming they are hearing. Or perhaps you are struggling to move customers off an old solution to a new one you've come up with, but adoption just won't happen. Users can’t hate change. If users hated change, Google would have failed, and we’d be happy with Altavista. Facebook would have failed, because Friendster was enough. Paypal would have failed, because, you know, credit cards.
There is a right way and a wrong way to introduce change to your userbase, and sadly the bully-tactics of facebook and Apple have become the norm. But if you are a small company, you can’t afford to impose change sloppily on your userbase. You need to get it right. In this workshop we will cover
The psychology of change, and why users resist it
Change strategies: band-aid removal systems.
Messaging change to emphasize value
Onboarding users to a changed experience
The power of progress to internalize value.
Design for change
This workshop will be highly interactive, with exercises and discussions so we can focus on your goals and needs as you introduce new products and revamp the old.
Intended Audience
Designers & Product Managers seeking to launch redesigns, new features, or new products into existing markets.
https://www.mappfia.com/
A minimum viable product (MVP) is something that has just about
enough features that satisfy your early customers and prove that
there's a demand for your product, giving you confirmation it's
actually worth building.
The document provides an overview of user story mapping, which is a technique used to help product teams understand user needs and plan product development. It discusses the limitations of a traditional flat user story backlog and how user story mapping addresses these by visualizing the overall user journey and relationships between stories. The key steps of user story mapping involve framing the product, mapping the big picture of user tasks and activities, exploring stories in more detail, and slicing the map into prioritized product releases.
You Can’t Ship from Your Ivory Tower: Including Developers in the Design Proc...Matt Edwards
If you consider yourself the only designer on your team, why should you expect anyone else to care about design?
In reality, your organization already has some of the best design thinkers you’ll ever meet nearby: your developers. In this talk, we’ll have an honest look at our shared tendency to be “Design Prophets” instead of “Design Facilitators”, and how this tendency can hurt our ultimate goals. We’ll also discuss the concept of a “Design Culture”, and the role of you and your team in building that culture in your organization.
How do we balance building the right thing with building it well? In this presentation we will examine this question at multiple levels of focus. We will discuss how a team can define the threshold for acceptable quality for their own context.
The document discusses three options for staying independent and on top of technology:
1) Starting your own company, developing products, finding clients, and iterating until success.
2) Creating a freelancer profile and working for free initially to build feedback, then constantly bidding on jobs and getting used to tight deadlines and monitoring.
3) Working professionally as a tester on startups and enterprise systems through a community, using mobile apps to work flexibly, taking on leadership roles to multiply success.
Analysis In Agile: It's More than Just User StoriesKent McDonald
A common question asked by teams adopting agile is "what does business analysis look like in agile?" The common answer is "writing user stories".
WRONG!
Okay, maybe not wrong, but certainly not the whole story (pardon the pun). Business analysis in agile is concerned with understanding the problem and possible solutions in order to ensure the team is building the right thing. User stories can be helpful, but are certainly not sufficient for doing that.
In this session, Kent McDonald describes how you can perform just enough business analysis to discover the right things to build. This includes how to really use value to decide what to build first, why process flows, data models, and mockups are still extremely helpful, and why the function of user stories is more important than their form.
Along the way, Kent shares examples from a system replacement project he is working on and suggests ways you can apply these techniques to your own projects.
(Chatura Fernando + Sasha Williamson, IBM) Kafka Summit SF 2018
In this session we will be showing you how to apply design thinking to evaluate and use Kafka in a meaningful way within your organization. We’ll walk through five techniques we use within our own organization grounded in design thinking methodologies to help us tease out user problems and understand what to act on.
Use these best practices to work through question such as:
-How could event stream benefit my organization?
-Where does Kafka sit in my organization?
-What Kafka data is most useful to my consumers?
-How do I split responsibilities between your users and DevOps?
-How does Kafka tie into my existing tech stack?

All too often, in the rush to get to market with all your wiz-bang features, testing your product’s quality becomes an afterthought. Eventually, raising support costs start to choke your forward movement and your backlog is now mostly bugs.
How can you ensure you address quality concerns up front without restricting the flow of features too much?
In this session we will explore techniques for smartly investing in your quality assurance approach while still allowing your company to innovate and get maximum value to your customers. We’ll talk about many real world examples of companies that overcame initial quality problems and effectively incorporated quality assurance into their every day processes.
There is No Spoon: Fostering an Agile CultureTommy Norman
The document discusses fostering an agile culture through adopting agile concepts and avoiding mechanism traps. It introduces agile concepts like iterative development, just-in-time requirements, continuous integration, and self-organizing teams. Common mechanism traps are discussed, such as cargo culture where teams focus on process over outcomes. The presentation emphasizes that adopting agile requires cultural change by affecting the entire company and involving everyone. Fostering an agile culture requires education, involvement, coaching, understanding the purpose behind mechanisms, and inspecting and adapting.
Scrum Master & Agile Project Manager: A Tale of Two RolesTommy Norman
This document discusses the differences between a Scrum Master and a Project Manager in an Agile context. A Scrum Master serves the Scrum Team by helping remove impediments and ensure adherence to Scrum processes and values. A Project Manager in a traditional sense is responsible for many tasks like managing schedules, budgets, risks and stakeholders. The document also explores how organizations can adopt Agile values and practices at different levels from just practices to fully embracing values. It provides recommendations for organizations to continuously improve their Agile adoption.
This document discusses managing agile projects using Scrum. It provides an overview of Scrum, including common roles, artifacts, and events like sprints, sprint planning, daily scrums, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. It also discusses how project management practices from PMBOK like scope, schedule, cost can be addressed in Scrum, with the product backlog, release planning, and tracking work remaining. The document aims to explain how to use Scrum for managing agile software development projects.
Tommy Norman gave a presentation on introducing agile software development using Scrum. He began with an overview of agile principles compared to traditional waterfall development. The key aspects of Scrum were then outlined, including sprint planning, daily standups, product backlog refinement, and sprint reviews and retrospectives. The benefits of agile such as visibility, adaptability, and risk reduction were highlighted. Challenges to adopting agile like management buy-in and organizational change were also discussed. The presentation concluded with next steps around research, training, involvement, and coaching.
This document summarizes a talk on web crawling and text analytics techniques for extracting useful information from unstructured data sources. It discusses tools for web crawling like Import.io and webscraper.io. It also covers text analytics approaches like part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, and sentiment analysis. A case study is presented on how these methods were used to analyze customer reviews for a restaurant and provide insights. The talk concludes with predictions for the data science industry and advice for starting a data science company.

Understand your customers digital journey with quantitative and qualitative analytics

Patrick Campbell — How to Build Actual Customer-Driven Product (Turing Festiv...Turing Fest
This document discusses the importance of building customer-driven products and outlines ways to improve a company's customer development process. It notes that acquiring customers is getting more difficult due to increased competition and saturation in the market. To build better products, companies need to understand their buyers through techniques like buyer personas, customer development conversations, and testing. Data shows that focusing on retention and monetization has a bigger impact on growth than acquisition alone. The document provides examples of frameworks to quantify buyer preferences, willingness to pay, and develop stronger persona-product fits to ensure companies are building products their target customers truly value.
The document provides an overview of the product management lifecycle and role. It discusses defining product opportunities by understanding customer problems, technologies, and a company's capabilities. It also covers product discovery frameworks like minimum viable products and jobs-to-be-done. The agenda includes understanding customers, creating personas and wireframes, using analytics to check hypotheses, and approaching typical PM interview questions with a focus on structured thinking.

UI5con 2024 - Bring Your Own Design SystemPeter Muessig
How do you combine the OpenUI5/SAPUI5 programming model with a design system that makes its controls available as Web Components? Since OpenUI5/SAPUI5 1.120, the framework supports the integration of any Web Components. This makes it possible, for example, to natively embed own Web Components of your design system which are created with Stencil. The integration embeds the Web Components in a way that they can be used naturally in XMLViews, like with standard UI5 controls, and can be bound with data binding. Learn how you can also make use of the Web Components base class in OpenUI5/SAPUI5 to also integrate your Web Components and get inspired by the solution to generate a custom UI5 library providing the Web Components control wrappers for the native ones.
What to do when you have a perfect model for your software but you are constrained by an imperfect business model?
This talk explores the challenges of bringing modelling rigour to the business and strategy levels, and talking to your non-technical counterparts in the process.
