The MVP Trap: Why You Need a New Approach to Modernization with Joseph Misemer

If you’re ready to enter the next stage of product development – modernizing an existing solution – you might be tempted to try the MVP route again. It worked well once before, surely it can again…  

The truth is that updating an existing solution is a completely different process. You’re not starting from scratch this time. You already have a product and users on board, and so you need a new approach.  

To talk more about modernizing a solution and the best approaches to take, we welcomed Joseph Misemer, Director of Solutions Consulting at HatchWorks, to the podcast. Joseph explains why the MVP approach doesn’t work when it comes to modernizing a solution and breaks down the different elements of a successful modernization project.  

Key Moments: 

• Why the MVP approach doesn’t always work 
• The main differences between MVP and MVR 
• The six principles of MVR 
• Three approaches to modernizing an MVR project
