Before You Build Your MVP: A 10-Point Readiness Checklist Backed by Data and Battle-Tested Stories

You can’t afford to treat your MVP like a proof of concept. And yet, far too many startups and even enterprises do. What was once a strategic, lean go-to-market weapon has become a misunderstood checkbox for “getting something out quickly.” That mindset often leads to expensive do-overs and lost investor confidence. Having led and consulted on over 100+ product builds—from monoliths on Visual Basic in the early 2000s to modern microservices laced with AI/ML—I’ve come to believe that a robust MVP doesn’t start with code. It starts with clarity. This checklist isn't theory. It’s a reflection of what separates the successful 8% of MVPs that raise Series A rounds within 18 months, from the 92% that either pivot, stall, or shut down. 1. Crystal-Clear Problem Statement Your MVP must solve a problem that’s painfully obvious to the user. If you can’t explain the core problem in one sentence without using industry jargon, stop here. You’re not ready. Stat Insight: According to CB Insights, 35% of startups fail because there is “no market need.” That’s not just a problem mismatch—it’s a misunderstanding of the user’s actual pain point. From the Field: A B2B SaaS startup in the logistics sector came to us with a “shipment tracking AI platform.” Sounds exciting, until we spent two weeks just helping them define who their real users were—dispatchers, not fleet managers. That reframing saved their MVP from irrelevance. 2. Your ‘Must-Have’ Feature List Should Fit on a Post-it Notion, Airbnb, Dropbox—all started with a single sharp utility. If your MVP has more than 3 core features, you’re likely building a Version 1.0, not an MVP. Focus Point: MVP = Minimum Viable Product. Not “minimum everything.” It should be small, but impactful. Clarity trumps coverage. 3. You’ve Mapped the User Journey, Not Just Wireframes Design systems and UI kits are everywhere, but empathy is still rare. A functional UI that doesn't reflect real-world usage is like a Ferrari without a steering wheel. Checklist Tip: Walk through your MVP like a first-time user. Are the flows intuitive, or are you relying on help docs and tooltips? If it's the latter, rethink.

4. You Know Exactly What You Want to Measure An MVP is as much about learning as it is about delivery. What are your KPIs for success—DAUs, retention rate, CAC, NPS? Define them before development begins. Stat Insight: Startups that measure their MVP's performance with just two key metrics see a 30% higher chance of pivoting successfully, per Lean Analytics. 5. You’ve Chosen the Right Tech Stack for Speed + Scalability You’re not building for the future—you’re building to reach it faster. Choose stacks that get you there without locking you in. Example: For a fintech MVP targeting underbanked users in APAC, we went with Firebase + Flutter for speed. When it scaled to 100K users, we refactored into Node.js and React Native—without downtime. CTO Tip: Avoid over-architecting. But always keep modularity in mind. 6. You’ve Validated the Market Without Writing a Line of Code Pre-MVP validation is not a nice-to-have—it’s insurance. Surveys, landing pages, waitlists, even a Typeform with a Stripe button can give you real data. Proof: Buffer collected over 1200 email signups and got their first 100 paying users with no product. Just a landing page with pricing. 7. You Know What You Won’t Build Your Not-to-Build List is just as important as your feature list. Draw hard boundaries���especially when stakeholders try to sneak in their pet features. From the Field: A healthtech startup had 12 modules planned for their MVP. We cut it to 2 that directly impacted patient onboarding. They got acquired in 14 months. The rest? Still in backlog. 8. You Have a Deployment Plan—Not Just a Dev Plan Code complete is not launch complete. Factor in testing, CI/CD setup, rollback plans, release strategy, and post-launch monitoring. If you’re targeting app stores, include buffer time for reviews. CTO Tip: Tools like Sentry, Datadog, or LogRocket are not overkill for MVPs. They help you see what users aren’t telling you. 9. Your Budget Matches Your Goals If your budget is $5K, you’re not building an MVP. You’re building a prototype or a PoC. Be honest about what outcomes you expect—then align your spend. Stat Insight: The average MVP build cost in 2024 (across 5 key markets) is ~$30K–$80K. Anything less requires either internal dev capacity or reduced scope.

10. You’re Ready for Feedback, Not Praise The first release should make you nervous. That’s healthy. If you're not prepared to hear what’s broken, clunky, or confusing—your MVP is just a vanity project. CTO Thought: Real product-market fit emerges from discomfort. From listening to what users struggle with—not just what they like. Final Thoughts: MVPs Aren’t Just for Startups Anymore We’ve worked with global telcos, banks, and even government agencies on MVPs—because innovation cycles are shrinking. An MVP isn't just an early-stage play; it's a de-risking strategy across the board. Whether you're an early founder, a product head at a Fortune 500, or somewhere in between—take this checklist seriously. You’re not just building software. You’re laying down the first bricks of something that could last a decade. Or disappear in six months. Build smart. Build focused. And above all, build for learning from iProgrammer.

Work can be stressful and we all need a break from time to time. What if you could take that break while having loads of fun and learn a few things at the same time? Well, here’s your chance: we’re excited to release the first multiplayer quiz app built entirely on Salesforce technology! In this blog post, we introduce the Quiz App and share highlights about the app architecture and its deployment. Introducing the Quiz App The quiz app is inspired by the popular Kahoot game. Here’s how it works: First, a game host presents questions from a shared screen or a video projector. Then, players compete by answering those questions in real-time using a mobile web app. The fastest player to give the correct answer scores the most points. As the game progresses, leaderboards are displayed so that players can keep track of scores and ranks. The quiz app was initially launched during Developer Game Night at Dreamforce 2019 with close to a hundred players. Now it’s open source and we’re promoting it during Dreamforce Global Gatherings. That’s right, you can install it for free, inspect the code, and customize it to your liking! Architecture Overview The quiz is divided in two applications: a host app and a player app. The host app is a Lightning Web Component (LWC) app running on a Salesforce Org. The org holds all of the quiz data in custom objects (players, questions, answers…). This means that you can easily import extra questions and customize them. It’s as simple as editing records—zero code change required! The player app is a mobile app built with Lightning Web Components Open Source (LWC OSS). It runs on Node.js deployed on Heroku. There are a few reasons to have the player app on Heroku for our specific use case. First, the Heroku app scales well and can accommodate a large number of users as Heroku limits are based on processing power (dynos) rather than strict governor limits. Secondly, we can easily provide unauthenticated access to our custom app. Unlike Salesforce orgs, there are no user license considerations on Heroku. These advantages do come at a cost: it’s up to us to build the app from the ground up. We use that to our advantage in the quiz player by implementing a lightweight mobile app. Cross-App Communication The two applications communicate with bidirectional REST calls. The player app uses the JSforce library (a JavaScript Salesforce client) to authenticates on the Salesforce org with a username/password flow. The client calls the standard REST APIs as well as a couple of custom Apex REST endpoints. The host app also sends REST requests to the Node.js server of the player app to signal game phase changes (eg: a question becomes available or game results are being displayed). These calls are secured with a shared secret API key that is configured on the two apps during setup. This technique ensures a lightweight and minimal level of security by preventing third parties from accessing the player app REST endpoints. Client-Server Communication on the Player App The player app consists of a client (the LWC OSS app running on a mobile device) and a server (the Node.js backend). The client calls REST APIs on the server to retrieve information like the player’s score. We also establish a WebSocket connection between the client and the server. This allows us to push real-time updates like game phase changes to the mobile app. For example, when a new question can be answered, the Node.js backend broadcasts an WebSocket message to all mobile clients. With that, all players can see game updates at the same time on their mobile devices. While powerful, WebSockets have an important limitation when working on mobile. WebSockets rely on a lasting network connection between the client and the server. On mobile, this connection can easily be broken when the device screen is locked or when the user switches to another app. This means that we must implement some non trivial code to handle reconnection on the client side and a keep alive mechanism to detect and eliminate broken connections on the server side. App Deployment One of the most challenging parts of this project is making sure that the quiz app can be easily deployed by a large number of users with different degrees of technical skill. Given the complexity of the environment (two different technology stacks), we needed to ensure that the deployment is as automated as possible. We rely on two things to achieve that: an org deployment script for the host app and a Heroku deploy button for the player app. Note: the app setup is extensively documented and we even provide a video guide (see link at the end of this post). Org Deployment Script The quiz host app is deployed on a Scratch org with Salesforce DX. This allows us to create a temporary Salesforce org with a lifespan of up to 30 days with a set of commands. These commands are grouped and chained together in a deployment script that you can run with a single command in a terminal. The deployment scripts automates the following tasks: Creating a scratch org Pushing sources to the org Assigning permissions Importing question data Generating a user password Automating the setup process greatly reduces the risk of configuration errors and saves a lot of time. Here’s a simplified version of the deployment script running on MacOs (there’s also an equivalent script for Windows): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 echo "1. Creating scratch org..." && \ sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a $ORG_ALIAS -d 30 && \ echo "" && \ echo "2. Pushing source..." && \ sfdx force:source:push -f -u $ORG_ALIAS && \ echo "" && \ echo "3. Assigning permissions..." && \ sfdx force:user:permset:assign -n Quiz_Host -u $ORG_ALIAS && \ echo "" && \ echo "4. Importing data..." && \ sfdx force:data:tree:import -p data/$DATA/plan.json -u $ORG_ALIAS && \ echo "" && \ echo "5. Generating user password..." && \ sfdx force:user:password:generate -u $ORG_ALIAS && \ echo "" EXIT_CODE="$?" # Check exit code echo "" if [ "$EXIT_CODE" -eq 0 ]; then echo "Installation completed." echo "" sfdx force:org:open -p /lightning/setup/SecurityRemoteProxy/home -u $ORG_ALIAS else echo "Installation failed." fi exit $EXIT_CODE Notice how commands are chained together with the && operator. This executes them one after the other as long as there are no errors. The \ character at the end of the line lets us introduce line breaks for readability. At the end of the script we’re checking for the last command’s exit code with EXIT_CODE="$?". This lets us report the deployment status with a message and open the org if everything went well. Heroku Deploy Button The player app is even easier to install with a Heroku deploy button. The deploy button is an image with a link that the user can click to deploy a Heroku app without leaving the browser. The link URL holds a reference to the GitHub repository that contains the app source code and a deployment configuration file. With the deploy button the user only has to enter a few configuration variables before confirming the deployment. Summary Now that you’ve learned about the Quiz App features and architecture, how about giving it a try? Sign up for a Dreamforce Global Gathering near you to find worthy opponents. Or, explore the code, install the apps, and customize questions by simply editing records. Don’t hesitate to let us know how much fun you had on social media!

Reviews:

“This is an excellent course that provides in-depth tuition from the very basics to quite advanced concepts. The extras that come with the course are very useful in putting the skills learned to practice, and I feel that I have learned a huge amount from this. Thank you Rob!” (Rebecca Seamer)

“I give it 4 stars because it is great to learn if you are an absolute beginner and being introduced to Web Development for the first time as it covers a great deal of languages. However the only downside is setting up your system for a true workflow of web development. such as integrating in Node.js and github. I’m still a newbie in the world of web development, but learnt early on its important to be familiar with industry standards as a bare minimum and build confidence.” (Gerard Ho)

“I am giving Rob Percival’s Web Development 2.0 course on Udemy 5 stars, if only for the huge amount of content in this course. There is a ton of information (and a lot of good bonuses) with this course that will provide students that are new to Web Development with a good foundation on the topic. As a noob myself, I considered this my 101 Web Development course. After taking this course, I am able to understand the differences between many of the most popular languages and libraries. I can read and recognize these languages and libraries, but I can only code in html and CSS and a little Javascript on my own. So despite the 5-star rating and my overall recommendation of this course, the rest of this review is going to be pretty critical. The intent of this criticism is (1) so save future students frustration by encouraging an approach to the course that will make the experience feel better, and (2) the hope that some of the things I write will encourage the teacher to tweak the course content to make it easier for beginner students to digest. The most frustrating thing about this course were the exercises because they are not easy enough for a beginner to figure out on his or her own, yet he says every time, “I hope you did most of that on your own,” which implies that people who DON’T complete the exercise on their own are falling behind and not absorbing the information well. In the beginning, this made me feel like I was pretty bad at learning the material, and I was especially critical of myself because I have a background in HTML and WordPress. As I got toward the end of the course (I am writing this after finishing everything) I realized that Rob believing everyone should be able to do most of the exercises on their own is a ridiculous notion. Even if a student tries to Google everything, a lot of the time as a beginner I didn’t even know what to search for, so that limited my ability to complete the exercise on my own. My advice to the beginner is to give yourself a time limit to complete each exercise you come to (like an hour or two) or just go ahead and code along with the video. And don’t feel bad about not being able to do it on your own. Additionally, I did one of the exercises at the end of the course but I could not get the code to do what I wanted it to do. I asked for help in the Q&A and the response I got was, “just compare your code to my [Rob’s] code”. I thought that was a bit of a brush off. Of course I compared the code before posting a question. If you think I hadn’t compared the code several times before posting a question,then that’s crazy. After watching 30 hours of video and spending many additional hours working to complete the advanced exercises, that response to my question has the subtext of, “You are lazy and you want me to solve this for you rather than figure it out yourself.” Actually, I compared his and my code multiple times, but sometimes when you’ve stared at your own code next to almost identical code for 2 hours, you don’t see the one semicolon (or whatever) that someone else (especially an expert) will find immediately. In the next section of the course I couldn’t get another page to work (Mastermind exercise). I looked over the code 8 times, comparing mine to his, and couldn’t find what was different. I didn’t bother to submit that one to the Q&A. I guess I’ll never know what went wrong… Also, I don’t know why the bonus section is there. That part is definitely way beyond what is taught in this course, but I suppose he can say it is there and pitch it as part of the course. CONCLUSION: Yes, take this course if you are a beginner because it is a great value and will give you a good foundation, but if you get frustrated and feel that the exercises are beyond the foundation material in each section, then you are probably right. Just keep plugging away, don’t believe him when he says, “You should have been able to do a lot of this yourself,” and have faith that some” (Leslie Lello)
