Mike helps your team craft MVP Stories–stories as Minimum Viable Products.
Well-crafted, prototyped stories as MVPs can be used to pitch to investors, customers, and your internal teams to see what flies and modify as you learn.
The MVP Story is told in a way that people can realistically visualize and see their role in making the story come true. When dreams feel do-able, the magic starts to happen.
You get what you design.
