Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the given question.
A minimum viable product (MVP) is a development technique in which a new product or website is developed with sufficient features to satisfy early adopters. The final, complete set of features is only designed and developed after considering feedback from the product's initial users. This technique helps them in making the final product much better. With the help of MVP concept, the research or the marketing team will come to know where the product is lacking and or what are its strengths or weaknesses.
MVP has three distinct features. One is that it will have enough features for consumers to purchase the product (it becomes easier for the company to market it), the other is that it will have some sort of a feedback mechanism wherein users would be able to send their feedback about the product. And, lastly it should have enough future benefits for consumers who choose to adopt the product first (Google gave free upgrade of its OS to all Nexus users). The idea is to get feedback from the consumers which will in turn help in making the desired changes in the final product. MVP actually tests the usage scenario that is much more helpful for the company to make changes to the final product.
The developing team of an MVP will not waste any time on anything beyond the bare minimum, and build every other feature over time as they assess the customers' wishes and preferences as they start using the product. The product may change even dramatically or even get abandoned as feedback from users may significantly diverge from the original project. However, the developing teams will not waste any resources (efforts, time, money, advertising) on a product that no one really wants, needs, or likes. The catch to this development technique is that it assumes that early adopters can see the vision or promise of the final product and provide the valuable feedback needed to guide developers forward.
The whole focus is learning during product development by collecting information from customers that are validated already. Observing users as they utilize the product is much more reliable than trying to validate marketing hypotheses with questionnaires or forecasts. A common pitfall is to release a bare-bone product that is so much below the users' expectations that is not viable at all. In general, the MVP technique is particularly viable for technically-oriented products used by technical users who are often keen on providing practical insights on how to improve or update the product. The concept of MVP has, in fact, been widely adopted by many verticals in the informatics industry. For example, many video games today spend many months (sometimes years) as early access products and are slowly developed as the community grows. Some popular franchises, such as Farmville, fully leveraged the concept of MVP by implementing new gameplay features over time while progressively improving overall user experience.
Q. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to disagree about?
  • a)
    The more an MVP is technically oriented, the greater are chances of receiving the feedback.
  • b)
    An MVP is launched with the primary goal of profit maximisation from the product.
  • c)
    It is even possible that all future plans for the product are abandoned because of a failed MVP.
  • d)
    The first users believe in the promise and vision of the final product more than that of the MVP.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The author is most likely to disagree with the statement:

An MVP is launched with the primary goal of profit maximisation from the product

- The author would likely disagree with this statement because the main goal of launching an MVP is not profit maximization.
- The primary purpose of an MVP is to gather feedback from early adopters to understand the strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement of the product.
- Profit maximization comes later, after incorporating feedback and developing the final product with features that meet customer needs and preferences.
- Launching an MVP is more about testing the product idea and gathering insights rather than focusing solely on generating profits.

Therefore, the author would most likely disagree with the statement that an MVP is launched with the primary goal of profit maximization from the product.

Which of the following best describes the meaning of a minimum viable product (MVP)?

Directions: Analyse the following passage and provide appropriate answers "Whatever actions are done by an individual in different embodiments, [s]he reaps the fruit of those actions in those very bodies or embodiments (in future existences)".A belief in karma entails, among other things, a focus on long run consequences, i.e., a long term orientation. Such an orientation implies that people who believe in karma may be more honest with themselves in general and in setting expectations in particular-a hypothesis we examine here. This research is based on three simple premises. First, because lower expectations often lead to greater satisfaction, individuals in general, and especially those who are sensitive to the gap between performance and expectations, have the incentive to and actually do “strategically” lower their expectations. Second, individuals with a long term orientation are likely to be less inclined to lower expectations in the hope of temporarily feeling better. Third, long term orientation and the tendency to lower expectations are at least partially driven by cultural factors. In India, belief in karma, with its emphasis on a longer term orientation, will therefore to some extent counter-act the tendency to lower expectations. The empirical results support our logic; those who believe more strongly in karma are less influenced by disconfirmation sensitivity and therefore have higher expectations.Consumers make choices based on expectations of how alternative options will perform (i.e., expected utility). Expectations about the quality of a product also play a central role in subsequent satisfaction. These expectations may be based on a number of factors including the quality of a typical brand in a category, advertised quality, and disconfirmation sensitivity. Recent evidence suggests that consumers, who are more disconfirmation sensitive (i.e.,consumers who are more satisfied when products perform better than expected or more dissatisfied when products perform worse than expecte d) have lower expectations. However, there is little research concerning the role of culture-specific variables in expectation formation, particularly how they relate to the impact of disconfirmation Sensitivity on consumerRead the following statements carefully:1. Temporary feelings and law of karma are independent2. As per theory of karma, temporary feelings would not lower the expectation.3. Temporary feelings and law of karma are contradictory.Q. Which of the following combination of statements is consistent with the second premise?

Which of the following statements is the author most likely to disagree about?a)The more an MVP is technically oriented, the greater are chances of receiving the feedback.b)An MVP is launched with the primary goal of profit maximisation from the product.c)It is even possible that all future plans for the product are abandoned because of a failed MVP.d)The first users believe in the promise and vision of the final product more than that of the MVP.Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer? defined & explained in the simplest way possible. Besides giving the explanation of Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the given question.A minimum viable product (MVP) is a development technique in which a new product or website is developed with sufficient features to satisfy early adopters. The final, complete set of features is only designed and developed after considering feedback from the product's initial users. This technique helps them in making the final product much better. With the help of MVP concept, the research or the marketing team will come to know where the product is lacking and or what are its strengths or weaknesses.MVP has three distinct features. One is that it will have enough features for consumers to purchase the product (it becomes easier for the company to market it), the other is that it will have some sort of a feedback mechanism wherein users would be able to send their feedback about the product. And, lastly it should have enough future benefits for consumers who choose to adopt the product first (Google gave free upgrade of its OS to all Nexus users). The idea is to get feedback from the consumers which will in turn help in making the desired changes in the final product. MVP actually tests the usage scenario that is much more helpful for the company to make changes to the final product.The developing team of an MVP will not waste any time on anything beyond the bare minimum, and build every other feature over time as they assess the customers' wishes and preferences as they start using the product. The product may change even dramatically or even get abandoned as feedback from users may significantly diverge from the original project. However, the developing teams will not waste any resources (efforts, time, money, advertising) on a product that no one really wants, needs, or likes. The catch to this development technique is that it assumes that early adopters can see the vision or promise of the final product and provide the valuable feedback needed to guide developers forward.The whole focus is learning during product development by collecting information from customers that are validated already. Observing users as they utilize the product is much more reliable than trying to validate marketing hypotheses with questionnaires or forecasts. A common pitfall is to release a bare-bone product that is so much below the users' expectations that is not viable at all. In general, the MVP technique is particularly viable for technically-oriented products used by technical users who are often keen on providing practical insights on how to improve or update the product. The concept of MVP has, in fact, been widely adopted by many verticals in the informatics industry.
