Bringing components together to form an MVP

In the first illustration, they brought together several components to create a skateboard. They needed a board, some wheels, and the truck mounts to connect the wheels to the board. All these things together made up the MVP for a commuter vehicle. Apply this metaphor and thought process to the MVP that you are defining. For example, if your MVP is a CRM software, at the most basic level, it will need to provide a central place where users can store customer and prospect contact information, share it with colleagues, and track sales progress. Multiple components or features will be combined in order to define the MVP. Bringing together the functionality for managing customers and the reporting functionality to track sales leads is what defines the MVP for our example CRM. Both of these components are mini MVPs in and of themselves, and as standalone components don't define the MVP for a competitive CRM in the market. Don't forget, the V stands for Viable, and that means having just enough features to start selling.
