A company has decided to investigate the feasibility of a new product. The project manager is in charge of validating the customer requirements. What should the project manager do to gam customer feedback?
A.
Have the product owner create product documentation
B.
Have the team create a minimum viable product (MVP).
C.
Have the marketing department create a survey
D.
Have the team create a prototype with all features
minimum viable product (MVP) is a version of a product that has enough features to satisfy early customers and provide feedback for future development1. The project manager should use an MVP to validate the customer requirements and test the assumptions and hypotheses about the product value and feasibility2. An MVP can help the project manager to learn from the customer feedback and make adjustments to the product scope and design3. Creating product documentation, a survey, or a prototype with all features are not as effective as an MVP in validating the customer requirements and obtaining feedback. References:
