Validate an idea before building
Reduce wasted effort by testing assumptions and building a focused minimum viable product.
Start with the problem
An innovative idea has little value until it solves a real problem. Validate the need and the proposed solution before committing substantial time and resources. AI can help accelerate research and organize feedback, but the team still needs to judge whether the evidence supports the idea.
Build the smallest useful version
Use a minimum viable product (MVP) to test the core value with essential features. Avoid trying to deliver a perfect, full-scale product in the first release. A small version makes it easier to learn from users, change direction, and avoid feature work that has not been validated.
The workshop emphasizes quick cycles: form an assumption, test it, gather feedback, and improve the product. Execution means turning the idea into something people can evaluate.
