This MVP Questionnaire helps you put your ideas and resulting project into perspective.

You can start your MVP at any place, i.e., first define your Motivation, then Vision followed by Project Objectives. Or you may already have a good idea of a project; in this case the Questionnaire helps you clarify your Motivation and the overall Vision and direction of your project.

The 5 Why's helps you dig deeper into your motivation and vision. While it is not mandatory it facilitates identifying the driver of your project. This helps you and give others a much better idea what is behind your problem, idea, project. Ideally, others can identify with your MVP, too. This would be a critical success factor for securing necessary support to finetune your project and build a winning and performing project team.

In planning your project make sure that it always is in sync with your MVP.

In case you have any questions, send an email to info@i-sparks.com and an i-Sparks coach will contact you.

worsening of socio-, economic, political problems

social impacts

poor remain poor, rich remain rich

gap between rich and poor is widening

social tension

"rich" spend money on protecting themselves from poor vs. investing in future opportunities

foregone opportunities benefitting whole society

status quo is preserved or worsened

economical

lower GDP

lower tax income

less money for public investments

less investment in future

foregone growth opportunities benefitting whole society

status quo is reserved or worsened

poverty is still the top issue

Even if India is doing well by IT industry expansion, humanity has not improved

Lack of respect other people, especially for poor people,

making them do whatever, yelling at them like a dirt, has become a normal way of life.

"affluent" / middle class are indifferent of poor

do not SEE widening gap between "rich" and poor

2. Who / what is (are) affected?

Absolute poor people,

do not have ability to study, afford school, pay for books, tuition

parents send their kids to earn money vs study to support their daily live just to survive

no immediate, imment benefits of education that could feed a family

vicious circle: no education, no skills, no money, begging / surviving, focusing on imminent threats / challenges, ...

society / community

1. What is (are) the real issue(s)?

Well I feel rich is getting richer, Poor is getting poorer in India, On top of that, Govt. policies are not taking care of absolute poor. Poverty/begging is overlooked. Average middle class people are busy making their life. The gap between rich & poor is expanding exponentially. Lack of education on poor community, political corruption, lack of incentives for middle class to help the community has taken a toll. Begging has become a business now. Pretty much what happens in India is , everyone trying to fatten their own pockets. Terrible for a community.
