There is a flaw at the heart of the term Minimum Viable Product: it’s not a product. It’s a way of testing whether you’ve found a problem worth solving. A way to reduce risk and quickly test your biggest assumption. Instead of building an MVP identify your Riskiest Assumption and Test it. Replacing your MVP with a RAT will save you a lot of pain.

This distinction affects the ways that employees of all stripes think about the organisation, the work that it does and the outputs that it generates, as well as the ways that the organisation is perceived by its customers.
