CPI Rapid Prototyping & MVP Development 2

Question 1

In the context of MVP development, what does 'validated learning' primarily refer to?

Accepted Answer

Empirically testing business assumptions through customer experiments

Answer

Validated learning means running experiments with real customers to test whether core business hypotheses are true or false.

Question 2

Which prototyping technique involves creating a clickable but non-functional simulation of a digital product?

Accepted Answer

Interactive wireframe (mid-fi prototype)

Answer

An interactive wireframe or mid-fidelity prototype simulates navigation and interactions without any real back-end functionality.

Question 3

A startup builds a landing page describing a product that doesn't exist yet to measure sign-up interest. This is an example of which MVP type?

Accepted Answer

Smoke test MVP

Answer

A smoke test MVP (or fake door test) gauges demand for a product before it is built by presenting it as if it were real.

Question 4

What is the PRIMARY risk of skipping low-fidelity prototyping and jumping straight to high-fidelity prototypes?

Accepted Answer

Teams invest significant time and cost before validating core concepts

Answer

High-fidelity prototypes are expensive to build and change, so fundamental flaws discovered late waste considerable resources.

Question 5

When applying timeboxing to rapid prototyping sprints, what is the main benefit?

Accepted Answer

It forces prioritization and prevents scope creep

Answer

Timeboxing creates a fixed deadline that forces teams to prioritize the most critical features and avoid endless refinement.
