In engineering development (and life), big goals are nice but more difficult to achieve. This poster uses these 2 images to show different approaches at development. Notice how long the first image takes to get any return on investment. It's important to create a path to the goal in achievable steps that can be capitalized or celebrated along the way.

I found this image a few years ago and always keep it in my pocket when trying to explain what an actual "MVP" is to leaders and peers. Most think of agile methodology like the first row, slowly developing and iterating each component of the "final product" until the customer or end user can utilize what they actually asked for. But we should all be focused on the second row - What's the fastest/simplest usable thing I can deliver that focuses on the needs of the customer? Focusing on the underlying need of “I need to get from A to B faster”, row 2 gets to the "Fastest Testable Product", and allows you to iterate.
