MVP scope
An expanding feature list often needs a clearer customer outcome. Use the task to decide what belongs in the first release.
Faith Forge Labs ยท Reviewed October 16, 2026
Describe who joins, what they provide, what the product does and how they recognize the result. Add the staff response if the process needs one.
Fictional example: a team administrator invites a colleague, assigns a review and sees the recorded decision. This invented sequence explains the method; it is not a delivered customer project.
Some features let the task happen. Others protect access or let staff support it. A third group makes the task more convenient without being necessary for the first audience.
In the example, permission checks cannot simply wait until later. A choice of dashboard colors probably can. Discuss each feature against the actual task rather than its popularity.
What decision would change after initial use? You might need to learn whether the intended customer can complete the task without help or whether the workflow fits their existing process.
Record the question and the observation you will use. A launch date alone cannot answer it.
Write excluded features down with the reason they can wait. Revisit them after reviewing the first use, rather than treating every request as an immediate launch blocker.
