The article critiques the prevalent use of Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) in product management, arguing that they often perpetuate a toxic culture. While MVPs can help validate ideas and gather customer feedback efficiently, they come with drawbacks: they can be costly, divert attention from essential commercial growth strategies, and foster a tendency to experiment aimlessly rather than strategically targeting customer needs. The article emphasizes the importance of thorough market research before pursuing MVPs and suggests reconsidering their role in sustainable product development.
