In the world of design, there is a concept that returns like a summer catchphrase: Design Sprint. It is often considered the panacea that solves all time, budget and product problems. It's a pity that, in reality, things are a little more complex than they seem.
To answer this question, we started from a daily experience: paying for a product through an app. A familiar action, but far from trivial if we look at it from a design point of view.

MVP means the version of a digital product (app, software or website) launched on the market with basic functionality that can then be further developed. The goal? Collect initial feedback from users and the market, reducing development time and costs.
