Document Summary

First step: identify the problem to be solved. Second step: develop a minimum viable product. Fourth step: employ investigative development, e. g. five whys . Developed by toyota production system in the 1970s. The idea with the five whys is that every time you run into a problem, you try to look at why the problem is happening, and when you find that answer, you ask why to that, etc . They noticed this only took five iterations. Minimum viable product is a product that you give the customer that shows them what final product will be like (it"s like a smaller working version). The function of the mvp is to deliver the concept as quickly as possible to get the most feedback from users. It"s minimum because it"s not the entire product, and viable because it"s working. This lets you learn about the user interacts with the product because the product could.
