Today we’re talking about how your MVP will break in expected ways.
1. Your MVP is not supposed to be a stable, final version; so don’t be surprised when it breaks in all sorts of different ways. From basic stuff like emails not being received to complex database issues — you’re going to see it all. And that’s exactly what we need.
2. Now, it’s often tough to receive this feedback from your first customers, who are usually having a pretty tough time with your bad attempt at a working version. But don’t get discouraged. You must stay committed to customer testing in order for things to improve.
3. I suggest setting a regular schedule for new versions to be deployed at least every few days, along with beta customer check-ins, to ensure you’re both iterating and receiving feedback regularly.
Best of luck out there.
