Due to increasing uncertainties for developing companies and the fact that there is a discrepancy between the importance of validation as a central activity for reducing uncertainty and the importance in the research environment, the integration of MVPs into the development process was supported. For this purpose, a portfolio for the selection of MVPs within the framework of the SPALTEN was created. This portfolio contains 17 different MVPs, which are selected according to the objective for validation and the stage of development. Finally, two MVPs were selected in a development project, set up and made available to customers and users in the course of a product validation. This helped to reduce the uncertainty regarding two objectives and identify a false objective, which was then removed from the product system of objectives.enMinimum Viable Products in Mechatronic System Engineering: Approach for Early and Continuous ValidationConference Paper10.5445/IR/1000138843Conference Paper
