Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) represents the first functional version of the system that delivers core value to users while requiring minimal development effort. This document outlines the scope, features, and success criteria for the MVP phase.
MVP Goals
The MVP aims to:
| Goal | Description |
|---|---|
| Deliver essential functionalities with minimal complexity | Focus on core features that provide value to users. |
| Validate core hypotheses and user needs | Test the system with real users to ensure it meets their needs. |
| Gather early feedback for iterative improvements | Use feedback from users to guide future development. |
| Provide a working foundation for future enhancements | Build a stable base to expand upon in future versions. |
MVP Scope
Included Features
The MVP will include the following key functionalities:
| Feature ID | Feature Name | Description | Related Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| F-01 | Scale Integration | Measure and record weight via hardware. | EP-01 |
| F-02 | API Data Sync | Send weight data to the cloud in real-time. | EP-02 |
| F-03 | User Authentication | Secure login for different user roles. | EP-05 |
| F-04 | Weight History Tracking | Allow users to review past measurements. | EP-03 |
| F-05 | Mobile Interface | Provide a basic UI for users to interact. | EP-03 |
| F-06 | Data Encryption | Securely store and transmit collected data. | EP-05 |
Excluded Features (For Future Releases)
The following features are not included in the MVP but are planned for later iterations:
| Feature | Reason for Exclusion |
|---|---|
| Multi-center management | To be added in a future version. |
| Advanced analytics and reporting | Will be implemented after core functionalities. |
| Offline mode for data collection | Requires additional infrastructure. |
| User notifications and alerts | Not critical for MVP functionality. |
| Customizable dashboard | Future release after user feedback. |
MVP Success Criteria
The MVP will be considered successful if it meets the following criteria:
| Criterion | Description |
|---|---|
| System Stability | The core functionalities operate without critical bugs. |
| Basic Usability | Users can easily interact with the system. |
| Data Accuracy | Weight measurements are precise and reliably stored. |
| Authentication Security | User accounts are protected with authentication mechanisms. |
| Real-Time Sync | Weight data is transmitted to the cloud without significant delays. |
| User Adoption | At least [X]% of test users successfully complete key workflows. |
Next Steps
Once the MVP is deployed, the next steps will include:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Gathering user feedback | Collect insights from users for feature prioritization. |
| Fixing bugs and improving usability | Address issues and improve the user experience. |
| Expanding features based on user needs | Add features based on feedback and market demand. |
| Planning Version 1.0 | Use MVP insights to guide the development of Version 1.0. |
Conclusion
The MVP serves as the foundation for product validation and further enhancements. By focusing on essential features, it allows for early testing, iteration, and user feedback collection before full-scale development.
