MVP & Roadmap Planning

Patterns for defining what to build first and in what order.

Core Principle

"Build the smallest thing that proves value."

An MVP is not a half-built product—it's a complete vertical slice that validates assumptions.

Priority	Definition	Criteria
Must Have	System doesn't function without	Core journey incomplete, no workarounds
Should Have	Important but not blocking	Workarounds exist, high value
Could Have	Nice to have	Enhances experience, low priority
Won't Have	Explicitly out of scope	Prevents scope creep, document for later
