Reverse Prototype

Summary

A method of removing existing functionality, views and steps, to see what the minimal viable product is.

Introduction

If you're starting with nothing, and designing your first product, you'd likely start by asking what the necessary features were to deliver value (and your vision).

This process is often named an MVP (minimal viable product).

A reverse prototype is a method of reaching this same MVP, but starting with a live product and removing unnecessary functionality.
