Specialization
Focus at the early stages of product development is critical. This method is about solving one problem for one specific niche. Because only one feature is tested, clearer evidence is provided that if feature was integrated with others. The objective is to gather market insights before committing more capital. If the single feature achieves traction, more features and functionalities can be added based on user feedback and market demand. if the single feature test is not successful, either pivot or change the strategy to find new market demand.
Initially, Dropbox only offered a simple feature - online file storage and synchronization. This single feature addressed a pain point of users wanting to access their files from anywhere without worrying about storage limitations. Based on user feedback and growing demand, Dropbox gradually added features like file sharing, collaboration tools, and mobile access.
