5. What is LEAN?
Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply
"lean", is a systematic method for the elimination of
waste within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into
account waste created through overburden and waste
created through unevenness in work loads .
The core idea is to maximize customer value while
minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value
for customers with fewer resources.

6. What is MVP?
In product development, the minimum viable product
(MVP) is the product with the highest return on investment
versus risk. It is the sweet spot between products without
the required features that fail at sunrise and the products
with too many features that cut return and increase risk.
