  2. What is an MVP? • MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product • A version of a product with just enough features to satisfy early adopters • Helps validate ideas before full-scale development Why Methodology Matters: • The approach you take can influence speed, cost, flexibility, and learning • Two popular methodologies: Agile and Waterfall

  3. Agile Methodology Overview • Key Characteristics: • Iterative, flexible, and adaptive • Development broken into small sprints (usually 1–2 weeks) • Frequent releases and updates • Close collaboration with stakeholders and end-users • Best For: • Projects with changing requirements • Fast-paced environments and innovation-driven products

  4. Agile for MVP – Pros and Cons Pros: ✅ Fast time-to-market with continuous delivery ✅ Allows frequent feedback and course correction ✅ High customer involvement = better alignment with user needs ✅ Lower risk of wasted effort on unneeded features Cons: ⚠️ Harder to estimate budget and timeline ⚠️ Requires skilled, cross-functional teams ⚠️ Risk of scope creep if not properly managed

  5. Waterfall Methodology Overview • Key Characteristics: • Linear, phase-based approach (Requirements → Design → Development → Testing → Deployment) • Each phase must be completed before moving to the next • Emphasizes thorough planning and documentation • Best For: • Well-defined, stable projects • Fixed budgets and timelines • Regulated industries

  6. Waterfall for MVP – Pros and Cons Pros: ✅ Clear structure and expectations from day one ✅ Easier to plan, budget, and manage timelines ✅ Less ambiguity in requirements Cons: ⚠️ Rigid — difficult to make changes once development starts ⚠️ Feedback comes late — often after full development ⚠️ Risk of building the wrong solution if initial assumptions are wrong
