Developing a successful mobile app takes every bit of investment you can think of – time, money, effort and what not. It takes a lot of hard work and sheer determination to get your mobile app based business rolling.

But above all, it takes the right approach and adequately precise and strong foundation that can exponentially kick start you in the right direction. Don’t get confused because I am talking about nothing else than designing an MVP for your mobile app before you head on to developing that final product.

 

Let me clarify you briefly.

MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. Any professional mobile app development company would suggest you to go with developing the smallest possible solution in the form of a mobile app that can solve the problem at hand.

Now developing an MVP is simple – you need to select a bunch of low-tech-high-user-impact features to begin with and with the least investment of time and money create the smallest possible solution that could solve the problem of your user.

This is where the real discussion starts – Time and money.

Developing a mobile app is already a huge investment of time and money. But the major downside of developing mobile app for any business out there, is that you cannot be 100% sure whether you will succeed in the long run or not.

What I am talking about is far down the finish line but before that the major concern threatening the mid-night sleep of every aspiring entrepreneur is that – “Is my idea worth pursuing? Is it worth the time and money investment? What if I get out-competed by someone else?”

These are some of the terrifying questions that will haunt you every now and then, if you are thinking of creating a mobile app for your business. But there is an alternative to it – Develop a MVP for your app idea and test it out.

Mobile app MVP development is fairly a common and regular term but often neglected by most of the entrepreneurs. As a matter of fact,

 

So let me introduce a new term here which is again common but often neglected – LEAN Start-up / LEAN Software Development Approach.
