A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is the most basic version of a product that can be released to test a core hypothesis. It contains only essential features needed to validate the product idea with real users, without the bells and whistles that come later. The goal is to learn quickly and iterate based on user feedback, rather than building a perfect product that no one wants. MVPs help startups and product teams minimize risk by testing assumptions before investing heavily in development.
