Product and Service Development – the role of Prototyping and Minimum Viable Products

Prototypes and “minimum viable products” (MVPs) allow you to test your product or service design, functionality, and value proposition in real-world settings. This workshop will provide you with approaches to prototyping, producing and utilizing MVPs, and introduce you to resources that can help your team move through the product or service development cycle.
