  1. Feature Prioritization: The team focused on essential features like user registration, profile creation, and posting text updates. Fancy extras were put aside for now.

  2. Rapid Prototyping: Developers used low-fidelity wireframes and existing UI templates to quickly build the app's front-end, saving time on design.

  3. Leveraged Third-party Tools: Instead of building everything from scratch, they integrated existing services for user authentication and cloud storage.

  4. User Testing: Regular testing and feedback sessions with potential users helped in identifying crucial improvements.

Results:

  • Delivered a functional MVP in just 48 hours.

  • Minimal resources were used, saving time and money.

  • Gathered valuable user feedback for future iterations.
