Webinar - MVPs Unpacked: UX Insights vs Development Realities

When it comes to building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), perspectives often differ depending on which side of the table you’re sitting. For UX researchers and designers, an MVP is about validating assumptions, understanding users, and creating meaningful experiences with the least effort. For developers, it's about building something tangible, stable, and scalable enough to take to market.

We recently joined forces with a leading UX research and design company (How Might We) for a webinar that explored this dynamic tension. Together, our very own Co-COE, Angelo Zanetti and Chris Metcalfe,  unpacked the different ways MVPs are approached; and why balancing these viewpoints is essential for product success.

You can watch the full webinar above, where we cover some really important aspects when it comes to MVPS: 

1. Misconceptions about MVPS.

2. Speed vs Understanding

3. What Does “Minimum” Really Mean?

4. Moving fast vs Quality

5. Managing Change

6. Measuring Success

Final Thoughts

MVPs are not shortcuts - they’re learning tools. Whether you approach them from a UX lens or a development lens, their true power lies in helping you test assumptions, reduce risk, and build products that matter (and can expand).
