The content of this course
In this course we are going to cover the whole process to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) following the Lean Startup methodology as a foundation.
We’ll cover the different phases of the product development process
1) Discovery, which covers the Why - "why are you building the product";
2) Design, which covers the What - "what are you going to build” and
3) Delivery – which is all about the How - “how do you build the product”.
You’ll learn what are the steps in this process, you’ll learn what are the critical points in this journey that you need to pay special attention to, and you’ll learn how to make the right decisions during this process.
Examples of questions we'll cover in the course are:
How to identify your market niche and their needs? Which techniques to apply to get valuable insights from users?
How to develop a competitive product strategy? How to make your product stand out from the rest?
How to make key product decisions? Whether to build or buy a platform? Should you use low-code to accelerate?
How to develop a product roadmap? How to define features in scope of your first MVP version?
What are the best practices to design the MVP? Do you need a UX designer?
What are the best practices to develop the MVP? Which skills do you need in the team? How can you make the software development more efficient? How to make sure your product has sufficient quality?
How to measure and improve the product? Which metrics to focus on at the stage you are in?
