Ditch the MVP: Achieving Success with the Smallest Successful Release

Creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a common practice in Agile development, particularly for startups with limited resources. However, this approach may not be the best strategy for established organizations with an existing user base. For example, if an insurance company were to launch an MVP for a new mobile app to a subset of its users, the potential for a negative user experience is high, risking dissatisfaction and loss of trust. At Xablu, we advocate for the “Smallest Successful Release” (SSR) approach.

This principle, often ignored in practice, aims to break down silos and facilitate effective teamwork to deliver value to the customer in a predictable and repeatable way.

The Netherlands’ Most Popular App, DigiD, Goes Open-Source

On January 16th, 2023, Logius, the Dutch government organization responsible for the DigiD app, released the source code of the app to the public. The DigiD app is a widely used authentication app in the Netherlands, with over 15 million active users.
