SaaS MVP Scoping Guide

A focused MVP scope saves months of rework. This guide walks through the decisions founders need before writing code, user journeys, must-have features, and what to defer until after launch.

• Define the single core workflow your MVP must prove

• Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves with a prioritised backlog

• Plan auth, billing, and admin as launch blockers, not phase two

• Budget for deployment, monitoring, and a credible demo narrative
