1 Define your MVP goals and scope

Before you start building your team, you need to have a clear vision of what your MVP is, what problem it solves, and who it serves. This will help you identify the key features and functions that your MVP needs, and the resources and skills that you require to build them. You can use tools like the lean canvas or the value proposition canvas to map out your MVP goals and scope, and to validate your assumptions and hypotheses with your potential customers.

First, identify the core competency of your venture - if it's tech-heavy, lean on developers; if it's relationship-heavy, lean on BD/sales people. Second, where possible, lean on generalists when building your team to get your MVP off of the ground. As your venture grows, you can fold in specialists.

?? Sometimes QUANTITY and SPEED matters than QUALITY and PERFECTION in startup. ??"Minimum Viable Product" is one of the key decisions that Hyring.com took a year back to validate our idea, profitability and the brand positioning. ?? Define the genesis of the product and what can help customers without concentrating much on the beautification/ branding/ complimenting features.

The team that will develop the MVP is essentially your core team. That means 2 things: 1. Try and consolidate it as much as possible, finding the right profiles and locking them down. In tech that would be by default a developer, a designer and a product owner. 2. The people you want for a MVP (and a core team) are not necessarily the same you will hire later: you want agile and creative people who will not hesitate to take risks. There is no blueprint at this point, you’re creating it…

2 Identify your team roles and responsibilities

Based on your MVP goals and scope, you can determine the roles and responsibilities that you need to fill in your team. Depending on the nature and complexity of your MVP, you may need different types of expertise, such as product management, design, development, marketing, sales, customer service, and so on. You should also consider the level of involvement and commitment that you expect from each team member, and how they will contribute to the MVP launch. You can use tools like the RACI matrix or the skill matrix to define your team roles and responsibilities, and to avoid overlaps or gaps.

Everyone should have a specific role. Suppose you're forming a band. Don't let your guitarist play the drums. Don't let the vocalist handle the bass. To identify roles and responsibilities (for every activity or task), use the RACI metrics I learned from experts from the University of Pennsylvania. Here's what it looks like: - R: Who is Responsible for the activity? - A: Who is Accountable for the activity? - C: Who must be consulted for the activity? - I: Who shall be Informed about the activity?

3 Find and hire your team talent

Once you have defined your team roles and responsibilities, you can start looking for the talent that matches your needs and expectations. You can use various channels and methods to find and hire your team talent, such as referrals, networking, online platforms, freelancing sites, job boards, and so on. You should also have a clear and consistent hiring process, that includes screening, interviewing, testing, and negotiating with your candidates. You should look for team members who have the relevant skills, experience, and portfolio, but also share your vision, values, and passion for your MVP.

Remember that an early MVP team is likely to be made of only a handful of individuals who are very versatile in skills and can wear many hats. Now is not the time to hire a performance marketer. Emphasize traits of adaptability, open-mindedness, agility, commitment, and resourcefulness.

Look for these when hiring talent for your MVP team (and any team): - Do they have the skills required? - Do they have the right experience? - Are they passionate or simply looking for a job? - Do they have the right personality? - Are they aligned with your vision, mission, and values?

4 Manage your team communication and collaboration

After you have assembled your team, you need to ensure that they communicate and collaborate effectively and efficiently. You should establish clear and frequent communication channels, such as meetings, calls, chats, emails, and so on, and use tools like Slack, Zoom, Trello, Asana, or Google Workspace to facilitate your team communication and collaboration. You should also set clear and realistic expectations, deadlines, and milestones for your team, and track and measure their progress and performance. You should also provide regular feedback, recognition, and support to your team, and address any issues or conflicts that may arise.

5 Test and iterate your MVP with your team

The final and most important strategy for building a team to support your MVP launch is to test and iterate your MVP with your team. You should involve your team in the testing and validation of your MVP, by collecting and analyzing data, feedback, and insights from your target customers. You should also encourage your team to share their own ideas, suggestions, and criticisms, and to experiment and learn from their failures and successes. You should also be flexible and adaptable, and be ready to pivot or change your MVP based on the feedback and results that you get from your team and your customers.

?? I had a misconception that I need to release the perfect version of the product, but later realised that SPEED > EFFICIENCY. Nothing makes the brand grow like the feedback of the end users using the product. Process goes like this > Test-iterate-get feedback-Make it better! ??We might have assumed that the so called "AI-powered" will make the product attractive, but the scenario might be completely different on what the customers love. Iteration, pivoting and making the product better is the lifecycle of a great product.
