Depending on background and where pepole are coming from experience wise those terms carry radically different ideas. In recent history I've seen up close two extreme constrasting examples of MVP: <ul> <li>Mega Minimal: website and db, mostly manual on the backend</li> <li>Mega Mega: provisioning system, dynamic tuning of systems via ML, automated operations, monitoring a few others I&rsquo;m leaving out.</li> </ul> <h2 id="feedback">Feedback</h2> <p>If we&rsquo;re evaluating which approach gives us more feedback, Mega Minimal MVP is gonna win hands down here. Some will counter they don&rsquo;t want to give people a bad impression with a limited product and that&rsquo;s fair, but it&rsquo;s better than no impression (the dreaded never shipped MVP). The Mega Mega MVP I referenced took months to demo. only had one of those checkboxes setup and wasn&rsquo;t ever demod again. So we can categorical say that failed at getting any feedback.</p>
