Path to an MVP

Introduction

When developing a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) for a global floral digital marketplace, it's crucial to focus on creating a streamlined version of the final product that effectively demonstrates the platform's core values while offering essential functionality. Begin by understanding the needs of both sellers and buyers, ensuring a frictionless process for showcasing and purchasing flowers. Remember to consider how logistical aspects, like shipping, can most effectively be integrated from the start to uphold quality and efficiency. It's vital to prioritize features that promise the simplest, yet effective experience for users, while planning for scalable growth.
