“Working with Apurva is one of the highlights of my career. I reported to Apurva at Medium while working on curation tools. She oversaw my team, as well as the recommendations and reader experience teams. She’s an incredible mentor – both for career-level and project-specific guidance. I deeply appreciate the time and care she put into my growth. She’s a strong cross-team facilitator and comes up with fun initiatives to inspire the team, which was especially crucial when the work was challenging. I aspire to be a leader like her, and would recommend her especially for roles leading product at a company, and directing initiatives across orgs.”

"The Guide to Minimum Viable Products" is an amazing set of case studies, well put together with deep insights. Industry experts reveal the secrets behind their MVP success and here's some takeaways: 1. Essence of MVPs: More than just a minimal product, an MVP is about delivering maximum value with minimal resources. It's about crafting a minimal solution to a pain point in order to identify the perfect balance of learning, testing and customer satisfaction. An MVP is not the end goal in itself but a larva towards a larger beast. 2. Product Minimalism & Viability: The guide stresses the need to prioritize core features that resonate with early adopters, ensuring the product isn't just viable but also memorable. It has to be revolutionary, otherwise your MVP is just another name in the game. 3. MVP Testing & Execution: Validate. Validate. Validate. Create several hypotheses and test them before development if possible. This way resources are well utilized. 4. Stay Focused: Avoid common MVP mistakes like overemphasizing speed over quality or misunderstanding your target audience. Be clear of your product's core offerings and stick to it. Is it ease? Is it interoperability? Is it speed? Or is it price? Every iteration must carry the same scope with more features. Whether you're a startup or a seasoned entrepreneur, this guide is a good starting point to building MVPs that truly make an impact. The team at Yeti Labs collectively has an experience of over 200 projects, with a handful valued at millions today. It means that we have built a nose for sniffing out great products. You can receive consultation on long-term product roadmaps so contact us today. #MVP #ProductDevelopment #LeanStartup #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
