How to Build an MVP: The Best Feature Prioritization Techniques

Ways to Speed Up the Product Design-to-Development Process wo methodologies are suitable for planning MVP development and further work. Since they both imply manual work, we recommend using automation tools. For example, software solutions like Hygger and ProductBoard employ either Feature Priority Matrix or Feature Buckets but with some minor alterations. This will help you reduce time and effort on prioritization.

Closing Thoughts

There are many different startup development approaches, but you should always keep these three, main points in mind when building an MVP:

1. Regardless of the chosen feature prioritization method, the main idea remains the same: MVP must solve a certain problem of your target audience.

2. Don’t try to test too many hypotheses at once. As they say, between two stools one falls to the ground. Test only the most essential ones.

3. The team responsible for feature prioritization and MVP development should be cross-functional including marketers, product managers, business analysts, and engineers. Therefore, you can guarantee a complete product view.
