Minimum Viable Product (OpenLearning)

Minimum Viable Product (OpenLearning)

Jump in for a hands-on understanding of why startups and organisations shift from traditional concepts of developing and delivering products to more effective minimum viable products. In this course, you will be guided towards best practice in developing, testing and evaluating your minimum viable product through developing a business proposal, identifying assumptions and biases, testing and measuring success.

Here you’ll learn how to identify your key market and what their true needs are, with the aim of developing a product with the least cost and effort to your organisation. Avoid falling into the "failed product category" and bring your customers real satisfaction.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Course Outcomes

  • Describe a minimum viable product that would test the highest priority success factors or threats to success.
