Path to an MVP

Introduction

Creating a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) for an online specialty tea shop focusing on rare Japanese teas involves pivotal decision-making to ensure that limited resources are directed towards features that truly matter. Japanese tea culture is rich and multifaceted, and an MVP should capture its essence while differentiating itself from competitors. It's crucial to prioritize a streamlined approach that resonates with enthusiasts and curious consumers that want to discover new flavors. Balancing functionality with customer needs will provide insights into what drives value for launching a successful product.
