MVP is not a BETA - MVP vs BETA

A lot of people misuse the term “MVP” or Minimum Viable Product. To be clear an MVP is not a beta. 

Experience shows that early product releases can be a smart move when doing innovation. What used to be called betas or even alphas is nowadays often referred to as an MVP (Minimum Viable Product).A lot of people are however substituting the word “beta” with “MVP” these days, although there are some significant differences.
