Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common MVP questions.

What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?

The smallest product that solves a real problem end-to-end and collects feedback to guide what to build next. It's not a prototype or proof of concept—it's a functional product that real users can use to solve their problem.

Is MVP the same as a prototype?

No. A prototype can be throwaway and is often used for internal testing or demonstration. An MVP is a functional product that goes to real users in the real market to validate assumptions and gather actionable feedback.

What does MVP mean in sports?

Most Valuable Player—the athlete with the greatest impact in a season or event. It's awarded across various sports including NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and FIFA, recognizing outstanding individual performance.

MVP vs MVC vs MVVM—what's the difference?

These are all UI architecture patterns. MVP (Model-View-Presenter) uses a Presenter that mediates between View and Model with explicit interfaces. MVC (Model-View-Controller) uses Controllers to handle user input. MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) relies on data binding with a ViewModel. Each has different trade-offs for testability and separation of concerns.
