Are you your MVP?

Let’s talk about value. How do the startups operate? They create a product and as soon as they have an MVP, a minimum viable product, the minimum value a product can have, they launch it in the market and, through testing and iteration with their customers, they modify the product to meet optimal performance and results. How do people like it? How do they interact with it? How can we improve the user experience? How to improve the product? Constant feedback and improvement make the product better and this is an on-going process through the duration of the product’s life.

The same occurs in the basketball world. The MVP, the most valuable player, is the person who is at his top game during a season, who did his best to be above average and to make a difference for the team. It is also about listening to feedback, improving, and presenting a better game every time. In sport, the MVP’s performance analysis and a deep understanding of the game is a constant exercise to improve both. When you establish the minimum value person you want to be and launch your potential, the constant assessment of your performance and analysis of your game is fundamental for great results and to reach your full potential.

In both cases above, there are key performance indicators to measure and evaluate the product and the player. The good news is that you can create your own internal MVP criteria to measure yourself against your own values in a clear way, leading to improvement and, above all, meaning.
