Your project is doomed before it even starts if you're trying to build everything at once.

Here's what happens - most teams waste months building features nobody actually asked for. 😅

The fix? An MVP approach in project management.

But hold on - this is where most teams get it completely wrong:

MVP doesn't mean "incomplete product." It means strategic learning.

In project management, an MVP is your fastest path to validation. You're building just enough to test your core assumptions with REAL users, not hypothetical ones sitting in a conference room.

Why does this matter so much?

• You validate project goals before burning through your entire budget;
• You gather real feedback, not just opinions from stakeholders;
• You reduce waste by stopping what doesn't work early;
• You build stakeholder confidence with tangible progress they can see.

Here's the difference that actually matters:

A prototype shows what something could look like.

An MVP proves whether anyone actually needs it.

Let's say you're managing a new training platform project. Your MVP isn't the full course library with all the bells and whistles.

It's one module. Basic tracking. A feedback loop.

👉 Launch it. Learn from it. Then build what users actually want.

This isn't about cutting corners - it's about cutting through assumptions.

The best project managers don't guess what stakeholders need. They build small, learn fast, and iterate based on evidence.
