MVP Scope Guard

Purpose

Prevents scope creep during MVP development by rigorously evaluating every feature against MVP goals. Features that don't serve the core learning objective are deferred.


When to Use

  • MVP definition phase
  • Feature discussions
  • When stakeholders request additions
  • During planning reviews

Instructions

1. Validate Feature Against MVP Goals

markdown
## Feature Evaluation: Social Login

**MVP Goal:** Validate core authentication flow

**Questions:**
- Does this help us learn? ❌ No - nice-to-have
- Is this required for core flow? ❌ No - email login sufficient
- Does this block user testing? ❌ No

**Decision:** DEFER to Phase 2

2. Reject Non-Essential Features

FeatureEssential?Decision
Email login✅ YesINCLUDE
Password reset✅ YesINCLUDE
Social login❌ NoDEFER
Admin dashboard⚠️ MaybeSIMPLIFY

3. Tag Deferred Ideas Explicitly

markdown
## Deferred Features (Post-MVP)

| Feature | Reason | Phase |
|---------|--------|-------|
| Social login | Not essential for validation | 2 |
| MFA | Adds complexity | 2 |
| Audit logging | Nice-to-have | 3 |

4. Preserve Delivery Speed

MVP exists to learn, not to impress.
Ship → Learn → Iterate

Integration

  • Precedes: spec-driven-planning
  • Follows: project-vision-normalizer
  • Validates: Feature requests during development

Constraints

  • MVP is about learning, not feature completeness
  • Default to DEFER when uncertain
  • Every inclusion must justify its value

Ship fast, learn faster.
