The document discusses the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development process, which consists of two stages: product discovery and product delivery. The goal of an MVP is to establish a minimal product that satisfies essential goals and can serve as the foundation for future development. An MVP process brings focus to the core value proposition, reduces rework, and creates transparency and consistency. It allows products to start smaller and iteratively improve through user feedback and marketplace research. The document notes that several of WellCare's teams have now been trained in the MVP process and are applying it to their projects.

3. Product Roadmap – Starts at MVP

An initial goal of building a
product in an Agile
approach is to establish a
minimal viable product
(MVP) that satisfies the
essential goals for the
product (typically highest
return/value versus risk).
This foundation can then be
leveraged as the backbone
for future product
development.
Primary Goal: Transportation to support traveling a mile

4. How is MVP going to make a difference?
• IT Teams
1) Generates product
transparency about what we
are going to build.
2) Reduce rework.
3) Provide consistency across
project teams and
standardizes expectations
between all involved parties.
• Business Stakeholders
1) Bring focus to the product’s
core value proposition and
efficiency to the business
process.
2) Creates a trusted partnership
between IT & the Business.
3) Brings focus to the most
critical business functions.

6. MVP’s Long Term Results
The key takeaway here is that a Minimum Viable
Product allows you to start smaller and iteratively
build up to produce a better, more polished product
by:
 Leveraging user intelligence to make the best
product decisions.
 Research marketplace trends for current and
future customers.
 With every release version, the product evolves
to maximize ROI and move towards a fully
mature application.
