Our Step-By-Step MVP Development Process
Here’s what to expect from our MVP development stages, some containing multiple steps and processes.
Case Study: Pulsion’s Collaboration With Accourt
Pulsion had the opportunity to spearhead a groundbreaking overhaul project for one of the UK’s biggest financial institutions, Accourt. The previously outdated and ill-performing Fraud Management system built on a SharePoint foundation had multiple challenges, some including a lack of scalability, user interface defects, and failed reporting. So, Pulsion’s dedicated teams implemented an avante-garde serverless solution hosted by our trusted Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner. The robust, cost-effective, and scalable replacement immediately revolutionised how Accourt’s customers interacted with their system.
Our dedicated team’s AWS serverless architecture provided scalability, enhanced overall system reliability across multiple availability zones, eliminated maintenance issues, and reduced infrastructure costs. Today, Accourt’s new serverless system handles 20,0000 transactions and accommodates over 2,000 users monthly without setbacks. The forefront system also passed multiple independent audits to highlight our team’s dedication and commitment to delivering optimal-quality products. Accourt’s Managing Partner, Vaughan Collie, continues to praise the system’s outcomes, robustness, and optimised efficiency.
Our MVP Developer Models at Pulsion
Additionally, we provide three tailored developer engagement models to align with your business requirements. Our skilled developers are adept at handling complex challenges, equipped with a deep understanding of your business objectives and needs.
Option 1 – Extended Team Augmentation Model
This model is ideal for businesses that already have an MVP development team in place but require additional expertise in specific areas, such as React development. By augmenting your existing team with external specialists, you can fill skill gaps without the need for permanent hires. This approach is particularly useful for:
- Projects requiring temporary enhancement in expertise.
- Short-term, intensive MVP development phases.
- Incorporating specific technical skills not present within your in-house team.
Be mindful of potential challenges such as time zone differences that may affect collaboration.
Option 2 – Project-Based Dedicated Development Model
Opt for this model when your MVP requires a dedicated team solely focused on its development from start to finish. This setup provides a cohesive team working exclusively on your project, ensuring dedicated resources and attention. It’s suitable when:
- You have a clearly defined MVP scope but lack the internal resources to execute.
- The MVP development demands a full-stack team with varied skill sets.
- You prefer to have a single point of accountability for the entire project lifecycle.
Option 3 – Fully Managed Team Model
Choose this comprehensive model for end-to-end MVP development where the service provider manages the entire project. This model is most effective when:
- You need to focus on core business activities while experts handle MVP development.
- The project requires cross-functional expertise, from ideation to market launch.
- You seek a turnkey solution with minimal involvement in day-to-day development activities.

MVP Development Services FAQs
General Information
The MVP, or minimum viable product, is a strategy in product development where a basic version of a product is launched with enough features to satisfy early adopters. Its primary goal is to gather feedback and validate assumptions early in the development cycle. By releasing an MVP, software teams can quickly learn from user interactions and refine the product based on real-world data. This iterative approach not only reduces the risk of developing features that customers may not want but also accelerates the time to market. Thus, the MVP model enables businesses to optimise resources effectively while focusing on delivering core value to their target audience.
The purpose of MVP, or minimum viable product, software development is to swiftly validate a business idea by launching a basic version of the product. This initial release includes essential features aimed at attracting early adopters and gathering valuable user feedback. By soliciting input from real users early in the development cycle, MVP enables rapid iteration and refinement of the product based on actual market needs and preferences. This approach minimizes initial investment and time to market, allowing businesses to efficiently validate assumptions, optimize resources, and ensure that subsequent development efforts are focused on features that deliver maximum value to customers.
In MVP development, three critical elements define its approach:
- Just Enough Features and Functions: An MVP includes only essential features that are adequate to address the core needs of early users. This minimalistic approach ensures that development efforts are focused on delivering fundamental value without unnecessary complexity.
- Early Customer Satisfaction: The product aims to satisfy the needs of its initial users or early adopters. By focusing on their requirements, MVP development validates assumptions and ensures that the product resonates with its target audience from the outset.
- Feedback for Iterative Improvement: MVP enables the collection of feedback from early users, which is crucial for refining and enhancing the product in subsequent iterations. This iterative process ensures that future development efforts are informed by real-world usage and user insights, leading to continuous improvement and alignment with market demands.
By incorporating these three elements into MVP development, businesses can effectively manage resources, accelerate time-to-market, and iterate based on actionable feedback to build products that resonate with their audience.
Timing and Decision-Making
The duration of MVP development can vary based on the complexity of the project:
- Basic Products: For simpler MVPs with essential features, development typically ranges from as little as one month to around three to four months. This timeframe allows for the initial version of the product to be launched quickly while incorporating necessary functionalities to gather user feedback.
- Complex Projects: More intricate MVPs that involve advanced designs or unique features may require a longer development period. In such cases, development can extend from six to nine months to ensure comprehensive testing, refinement, and integration of complex functionalities.
Ultimately, the timeline for MVP development is influenced by the project’s specific requirements and objectives. By aligning development efforts with the scope and complexity of the product, businesses can effectively manage timelines and deliver a robust MVP that meets user expectations and market demands.
Our 7-step MVP checklist will influence the development time. However, proper software development processes can distinguish between project success and failure. Some steps have multiple stages, resulting in 14 steps in our process. Here’s a quick overview of our 14 MVP steps and stages:
Step 1: The Discovery Phase
- a) Find and define the problem
- b) Find the target audience for the business idea
- c) Use requirements gathering to discover any relevant information
Step 2: Analyse the Market and Product
- a) Run a competitor analysis
- b) Design a simple prototype
- c) Gather initial feedback from invited users
- d) Do a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis
Step 3: Design the Wireframe (Information Architecture Design)
- a) Prioritise and categorise features, tools, and ideas
- b) Plan and document user perspective designs
- c) Validate the product idea
Step 4: Develop the App/Software From the Wireframe for the MVP Stage
The fourth step of our MVP development process occurs when our MVP developers create the tech stack and project features to match the wireframe. In the project development stage, our developers create tangible products.
Step 5: Launch the MVP
Upon your approval, we launch your MVP project. It won’t be a low-quality product compared to others. It simply has the features and functions targeted to provide excellent user experiences and flow. Your product will be able to engage users if the first four steps work well.
Step 6: Gather Constant Feedback for Improvements
Step six is when we continue to help you gather user feedback about their experiences, shortfalls, and desired changes on your client’s side. Nothing improves your end software project better than user experience and feedback. Our team collects the data, which helps us recommend improvements.
Step 7: Support the Client & Optimise According to the Feedback
Our Artificial Intelligence Consultants use machine learning tools to provide support and optimisation strategies post-launch. User reactions will outline changes our team makes in the months after an MVP product launches. Our services include optimisation of user interfaces, features, and functions.
Developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) has several benefits that can streamline the product development process and enhance the likelihood of success:
- Cost and Time Efficiency: Focusing on essential features allows for quicker and less expensive product launches, ensuring efficient use of resources.
- Investor Attraction: An MVP can demonstrate product viability and customer interest, making it easier to secure investment.
- Focus on User Needs: MVPs prioritize solving user problems with a minimal set of features, allowing for user-centered development and subsequent iterations based on actual user feedback.
- Early Testing and Adaptability: Launching an MVP allows for early market testing and quick adaptation to user feedback and market demands, reducing the risk and impact of potential failures.
- Market Validation: An MVP provides critical insights by validating market demand and gathering early user feedback, which is invaluable for guiding future development to better meet user needs.
- Scalability: Feedback from early users helps in understanding necessary adjustments and new features, facilitating a scalable development approach.
- Competitive Analysis: Developing an MVP offers the opportunity to analyze the competition and create a strategy to offer a more competitive product.
- Understanding User Flow: Outlining user interactions within the product can identify potential improvements to enhance the overall user experience.
These advantages contribute to a more focused, user-centric development process that can significantly reduce risks and increase the product’s chances of success.
Costs and Financial Considerations
MVP developments could cost as low as £3,000 to overv£100,000, depending on the criteria, time spent on the project, and post-launch services. We only offer quality services at reasonable prices. On the other hand, full-blown software development could cost £40,000 to over £150,000.
When developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), several financial considerations come into play. These considerations ensure that resources are efficiently allocated and that the product can be brought to market without overspending. Key financial considerations include:
After MVP development, the next stage is typically the Minimum Marketable Product (MMP). This phase represents a progression from the MVP by enhancing the product with additional features and functionalities that align more closely with the business idea and customer feedback.
- Minimum Marketable Product (MMP): The MMP builds upon the MVP’s foundation to deliver a version of the product that is more refined and capable of serving a broader market. It incorporates essential features identified through user feedback during the MVP phase, ensuring that the product meets market expectations more effectively.
- Advancing with Client Feedback: During the MMP phase, businesses continue to iterate based on client feedback, refining the product to align more closely with market demands and strategic goals. This iterative approach minimizes investment risk while maximizing the product’s value proposition.
- Consulting on Next Steps: As a trusted MVP development company, we guide clients through the transition to MMP, discussing the implications for expected costs and further development. This collaborative approach ensures that the product evolves in a direction that optimally serves both business objectives and customer needs.
Transitioning from MVP to MMP allows businesses to validate their product idea comprehensively while strategically enhancing its marketability and scalability.
