When uncertainty hits, decision-makers tend to look for ‘old reliable’ solutions that offer a sense of security, and optimization becomes more important than innovation. On the other hand, a market slowdown is always an opportunity to outpace competitors and strengthen one’s position. How can we reconcile these two opposing forces and use innovation for optimization?

The purpose of creating a minimum viable product (MVP) is to test the key features of your digital product with users. It’s a critical process of validation for both the product and the underlying business idea. The results influence the further development of the final product in line with the build-measure-learn approach that we take at Boldare, ultimately leading to product-market fit. This article focuses on that process of validation, including the various best practices, techniques, and types of MVP used.

Digital products are not often created ‘just for fun’ – usually, there is a commercial motive involved, a return on the investment of the product’s research, design, development, and launch. After all, if it’s a product worth using, it brings value to its users – that value means it is reasonable to expect something in return. To achieve that “something”, you need to decide how to monetize your product. This article assumes that you have already – as part of the design and development process – researched your target market and understand your users and their pain points. The question here is, what monetization strategies can you use to realize your product’s value?

Innovation accounting is a key element of the lean startup approach. Embodying the ‘measure’ and ‘learn’ elements of the Build-Measure-Learn cycle, innovation accounting enables business owners and developers to create useful metrics that offer insight into user engagement, product-market fit, and scalability.

Arguably, nothing changes without learning. There’s no progress, no growth, no improvement without it. As the saying goes, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.”* Any development endeavor that seeks to be better/faster/more must include learning in its process, and taking a lean startup approach to business is no exception.

Metrics and measurement are at the heart of the lean startup approach and agile methods of product development. Yet measurement alone is not enough – success comes from measuring the right things. However, as Eric Ries, author of “The Lean Startup” has pointed out, there are vanity metrics and there are actionable metrics. Which are useful?

In the digital product development process, scaling is the activity that gives the product sustainability and stability. A series of small but significant tested iterations that respond to, and anticipate, the market’s requirements. Not only does scaling involve responding to user feedback and suggestions, but also anticipating user needs in order to increase market share.

Lean startup is a methodology for developing both products and businesses. However, despite the name, this approach isn’t limited only to startups. In fact, the lean framework can be used (and it is) by any company to develop a new product for the market.
