This document discusses the concept of a minimum viable product (MVP), which is a bare-bones version of a new product that allows developers to test ideas with real customers as early as possible. It provides examples of what does and does not constitute an MVP, such as how a political avatar is not an MVP but could be turned into one. The document also covers related topics like deploying products first before completing the code, designing before coding, and obtaining funding to experiment with MVPs.
