51: What is a Minimum Viable Product? - a podcast by Ed & Tom Hazledine

Creating an MPV (Minimum Viable Product) is a big deal in "startup land". But what are they, exactly? How do they differ from a normal proof-of-concept or technical prototype, and are they a useful part of the development cycle?
