Minimal Viable Product
Glossary Page
The term "Minimal Viable Product" is used in the context of Catena-X and the lean startup environment to refer to the first iteration of a product that is minimally functional, allowing the needs of customers and users to be learned. This is often in the form of a mock-up or demonstrator, which is different from the actual marketable product. The Minimal Viable Product is a basis for incremental improvement and was formerly known as the Catena-X Speedboat, which included the portal, shared services, and two business cases for circular economy and traceability.
