You have a concept, and you're stuck on the same conundrum that every entrepreneur faces: should you construct an MVP, POC, or prototype first? Maybe your concept is for an app, a new feature, or a completely new business. You're excited. You want to start creating right now. But here's a question that practically every entrepreneur, product manager, and developer has to ask themselves: what should you create first? Should you develop code to see whether something actually works? Should you create a clickable design so that others may understand what you mean? Or do you produce a fully functional version that clients may use? These three possibilities are called Proof of Concept (POC), Prototype, and Minimum Viable Product (MVP). They sound similar. Even in large corporations, individuals frequently misunderstand them. However, they are not the same thing, and choosing the wrong one might squander months of time and money.
