In our <a href="https://polcode.com/resources/blog/first-time-mvp-meeting-here-s-what-you-need-to-know/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">article about clients’ first Minimum Viable Product meeting</a>, we have tried to present the value of having a well-defined vision and plan for MVP conversations. We have mentioned how working with an external software house differs from being in charge of your own team and is, therefore, worth preparing for, even before your first meeting takes place. We have brought up the significance of effective communication between business owners and software houses and commented on why clearly stating your expectations is always better than making assumptions. We have also mentioned how passion and belief in your vision can be a deciding factor in MVP conversations – not unlike financial matters, as a clear custom quote is often quintessential from the word go during those meetings.
