FAQs

A prototype is a visual or conceptual model used for testing ideas, while an MVP is a functional product that real users can use and provide feedback on.
Most MVPs take around two to six months to develop, depending on the product’s complexity and the development team’s experience. Some simpler MVPs can be launched even faster when the scope is clearly defined.
The main goal of an MVP is to validate a product idea with real users. It helps startups test whether people actually want the product before building advanced features.
The typical stages include problem identification, market research, feature prioritization, product design, development, launch, and user feedback analysis.
An MVP should include only the essential features required to solve the main user problem. Extra features are usually avoided to keep development fast and focused.
