Talk description
Title:
Keeping it Simple: is your MVP minimum and viable enough?
Short synopsis:
Lean software methodology tells us about the Minimum Viable Product; the smallest and simplest work that we can do to prove an idea and gain feedback and insight. Applied to software, this could be the least amount of code you could write to deliver something that the customer wants; an ideal little skateboard that’ll get them to work on time. But is your solution the simplest that it could be? Could it be that your customer doesn’t even require some software, or even computer, in order to achieve what they want? With anecdotes from the real-world, this talk looks a the pitfalls of determining what the customer really needs, rather than what they want, and reminds us technologists that, horror of horrors, perhaps they don’t need a single line of code or a single new cloud server to do what they need. Remember that a pencil is a technology and just the tool for the job in many cases.
