Question

question 1 of 10
how does a prototype compare to a minimum viable product (mvp)?

a. a prototype and an mvp are the same thing.

b. a prototype is more about functionality; an mvp is more about
design.

c. a prototype takes no time to develop, while an mvp takes a lot of
time.

d. a prototype is more about design; an mvp is more about
functionality.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A prototype and an MVP are not the same. A prototype is a preliminary model for design/feedback, while an MVP is a version with core features to test business viability. Eliminate A.
• Option B: A prototype focuses on design (e.g., UI/UX, look - feel) to test concepts, and an MVP focuses on functionality (core features to validate business idea). So this option has them reversed. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Both a prototype and an MVP take time to develop, with the time varying based on complexity. The claim that a prototype takes no time is false. Eliminate C.
• Option D: A prototype is mainly about design (to visualize and test the product's design aspects), and an MVP is about functionality (to provide the minimum set of features to test the business hypothesis). This matches the definitions.

Answer:

D. A prototype is more about design; an MVP is more about functionality.
