From Idea to MVP in 6 Weeks: Our Agile Methodology

The Time-to-Market Challenge

In the tech world, speed is crucial. Waiting 6 months to launch a product means:

At Wapiki, we deliver functional MVPs in 6 weeks.

Our 3-Sprint Methodology

Sprint 0: Discovery & Design (1 week)

Objective: Understand the problem and define the minimum MVP

Activities:

Deliverables:

Sprint 1-2: Core Features (4 weeks)

2 two-week sprints, focused on essential features.

Keneya MVP Example:

Sprint 1:

Sprint 2:

Daily Standup (15min):

Sprint Review (end of sprint):

Sprint 3: Polish & Launch (1 week)

Objective: Finalize, test and deploy

Activities:

User Stories & Estimation

User Story Example

As a patient,
I want to book an appointment with a doctor,
So that I can consult about a health issue.

Acceptance criteria:
- I can see the list of available doctors
- I can filter by specialty
- I can choose a time slot
- I receive an SMS confirmation

Estimation: 5 story points

Fibonacci Scale

We use the Fibonacci sequence for estimation:

Rapid Prototyping

Figma for Designs

We validate ALL screens in Figma before coding:

Time saved: 40% by avoiding code/design back-and-forth

Reusable Components

// Button.tsx - Generic component
interface ButtonProps {
  variant: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger'
  size: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
  onClick: () => void
  children: React.ReactNode
}

export function Button({ variant, size, onClick, children }: ButtonProps) {
  return (
    <button
      className={`btn btn-${variant} btn-${size}`}
      onClick={onClick}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  )
}

Reused throughout the app: 60% UI dev time saved.

Continuous Validation

Automated Tests

// consultation.service.spec.ts
describe('ConsultationService', () => {
  it('should create a consultation', async () => {
    const consultation = await service.create({
      patientId: 'patient-123',
      doctorId: 'doctor-456',
      scheduledAt: new Date('2026-02-15 10:00')
    })

    expect(consultation).toBeDefined()
    expect(consultation.status).toBe('scheduled')
  })

  it('should not allow double booking', async () => {
    await expect(
      service.create({
        doctorId: 'doctor-456',
        scheduledAt: new Date('2026-02-15 10:00')  // Already booked
      })
    ).rejects.toThrow('Doctor not available')
  })
})

Test coverage: 80% minimum on critical code

User Feedback

From week 3, we put the MVP in the hands of 5-10 early adopters:

Collaboration Tools

Wapiki Results

On our last 15 projects:

Pitfalls to Avoid

❌ Scope creep: Stay firm on MVP

❌ Over-engineering: YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)

❌ Skip testing: Technical debt = future slowdown

❌ Ignore feedback: Iterate based on real feedback

Conclusion

Delivering an MVP in 6 weeks is not magic: it's a question of methodology, prioritization and disciplined execution.

The key: Build → Measure → Learn → Repeat
