MVP development with maximum impact
Developing successful MVPs is no small feat. Many companies we work with to build MVPs have been disappointed by the results of their previous efforts to develop them internally. They’ve often been burdened by limited resources, burned by budget constraints, or held back by old-school development mindsets that prevent their ability to rapidly iterate and adapt based on market feedback.
Our MVP Development offering is custom-built to maximize the probability of long-term product viability. It places a premium on leveraging cross-functional, high-performing teams to increase the likelihood that your product will achieve these three critical milestones:
- Product-market fit (customer desirability over alternatives)
- Return on investment
- Technical feasibility and sustainability
3Pillar’s MVP process
Our tried-and-true process for MVP Development has been honed over the course of thousands of client engagements. The key to success is tightly coupling discovery AND development in a series of rapid experimentation cycles throughout the development process. This integration ensures the MVP you’re building is based on real user needs, not conjecture or guesswork.

User Interviews
User interviews conducted by experienced UX practitioners are invaluable for eliciting user feedback to drive the MVP development cycle. This feedback can be gathered through direct conversations with customers or through online tools like UserTesting.com.
User Feedback Synthesis
Evaluation of what customers say about the product, both during user interviews and after initial exposure to the product, is a key step in the MVP development process. We help clients separate the signal from the noise to continually feed the product backlog with high-value user stories.
MVP Design
UX design in MVP development is about much more than a product’s look and feel. It’s about helping users easily solve their problems and alleviate their pain points using software and digital experiences.
Rapid MVP Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is one of the most important steps in the MVP development process. It’s where assumptions about what users want and need the most can be validated or invalidated, and fast feedback can be taken into account to shift priorities as needed.
MVP Development
The process of going from prototype to production is arguably the most exciting step of MVP development. This is where you’ll see the vision for your product, refined over several iterations, truly come to life.
QA Testing
QA testing an MVP before releasing it to customers is a vital step to ensure that the finished product you roll out is reliable, stable, and performant. QA Test Engineers work in lockstep with Product Development to guarantee that your MVP is ready for prime time when it’s released.
User Feedback
Gaining user feedback directly and instrumenting your product with analytics that capture user behavior is invaluable in setting your MVP on a growth trajectory. The days of big-bang product launches where you can “set it and forget it” are long past.
Industry Considerations
Healthcare
Payers, providers, and digital health companies can take advantage of low-code/no-code platforms to quickly and easily develop MVPs and take some of the strain off internal development teams that have traditionally had to deal with modernizing or working around legacy systems.
Financial Services
As digitally native FinTech companies and challenger banks spring up, existing financial institutions and firms must take a page out of their book. Building a core competency around MVP Development enables FinServ companies to keep pace with the competition.
Insurance
Insurance companies have ample resources at their disposal to excel at MVP Development, but often lack the rigor or methodology to move quickly. Their vast datasets make developing MVPs that utilize technology like AI and RPA an attractive proposition.
High Tech
High-tech companies aren’t just expected to exceed the bar for lofty customer expectations, they’re expected to be the ones to set the bar. The culture of rapid experimentation that MVP development enables ensures that high-tech companies can live up to their name.
Information Services
Information Services companies have never had a better chance to provide valuable insights to customers based on all the data they have at their disposal. The challenge they often have is knowing what data will be actionable. This is where the iterative nature of MVP development comes into play.
