MVP Sprint
Go from fresh idea or unfinished project to live MVP in one week
When to use this
- — You have a fresh idea and need to scope a buildable v1
- — You've been building for too long and need to cut scope and ship
- — You need to figure out the simplest version that's actually useful
What you provide
- — A fresh idea you want to build
- — An unfinished project that needs to ship this week
- — Context on what you're building and who it's for
What you get back
- — Aggressive scope-down to one-week build
- — Local minimum diagnosis: are you optimizing in a valley or building toward something real?
- — Useful > Usable > Beautiful hierarchy applied
- — What to cut and what to keep — with a ship date
- — The toy version question: what's the dumbest, simplest version that could be useful?
