I read MVP as: Minimum Viable Product.
Essentially, the first draft of a product that does what it needs to do to show capabilities to others. Similar to a proof of principle
EDIT: Thanks for the clarification @kweinber, an MVP is put into production whereas a PoC/PoP is not
- philipov 9y agoAh, thank you. Couldn't get past the "Most Valuable Player" association; it is called a Proof of Concept in my industry.
- cbcoutinho 9y agoI think most industries have their own terms for essentially the same base idea. xkcd [0] made an ingenious comic about this that I keep coming back to [0] https://xkcd.com/793/ https://xkcd.com/793/
- kweinber 9y agoAn MVP is actually released to production and is not a PoC It was popularized by Eric Ries in his book _The Lean Startup_.
- mmcnl 9y agoPoC is quite different. A PoC has to demonstrate a concept, it doesn't have to provide value. An MVP should be something that is used in a production setting. A PoC is usually followed by a "go / no go" decision, MVP is something that is built after the go.
