As soon as possible?

Minimum Viable Capability (MVC) is a scalable approach to validating and releasing a system of capabilities, each at the earliest possible time. Capability scope is limited (minimum) so that it may be produced as soon as possible. For the minimum viable product (MVP) strategy, as soon as possible is often a just a few weeks.

But what does as soon as possible mean for an MVC? In my SEI Blog post Scope vs. Frequency in Defining a Minimum Viable Capability Roadmap: Part 2 of 3, I show how technical dependencies and testability determine what as soon as possible means for an MVC roadmap and then sketch how they interact with increasing/decreasing scope and shorter/longer release cycles.
