MVP in 6 Weeks: How It Works

Weeks 1–2: Discovery and Design

We dive into the task, interview users or stakeholders, and fix requirements. In parallel, we sketch prototypes and design the main screens. By the end of week two — approved UI ready for development.

Weeks 3–5: Development

One to two-week sprints. Frontend, backend, integrations — all in parallel. Each sprint ends with a demo to the client. If something doesn't fit, we redo it next sprint. No bureaucracy, just work.

Week 6: QA and Launch

Final testing, bug fixes, deploy to production. Training for your team. Ready for first users.

How is this possible?

Honest scope assessment. No gold-plating in the first version. Perfect communication: one question answered within 24 hours max. A team that doesn't sleep until launch, but then rests.

Questions

Is 6 weeks really possible?

For an MVP — yes. That's a SaaS or mobile app of minimal complexity, no microservices, no complex integrations. For a 10-million-line codebase — no.

What if new requirements appear?

New requirements go to the next version. The MVP has only critical features. The rest is in the roadmap.

How do I avoid getting crud instead of a product?

Understanding the business. We focus on what will bring the first users. The rest comes in version two.
