Abstract

This paper presents a proposal of a Minimal Viable Development Process for Software Startups that can be used during the MVP development process. Defining a methodology is a major challenge for startups because they are creative, flexible, and reluctant to include bureaucratic measures in their day-to-day procedures that may disrupt their natural attributes. Thus, to make the process simple, we defined it in 3 main phases: requirements gathering, software development, and market validation.
