An effective MVP emphasizes the importance in identifying and implementing the features and functionality that are indispensable to your product's core purpose. These features should be identified in the planning phase of your product. These are the building blocks that not only showcase the uniqueness of your offering but also provide a solid foundation upon which future iterations can be seamlessly constructed.

MVP's are inherently aligned with a user-centric approach. By focusing on essential features, you ensure that your product meets the immediate needs and expectations of your target user. This initial product allows a user feedback loop to not only refine your offering, but also cultivates a loyal user base from the start.
