SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The MVP planning workflow helps teams scope and articulate the smallest shippable product, ensuring clarity before any code is written.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope-driven planning: define the product in terms of the minimal, marketable features.
  • Artifact generation: automatically produces docs/mvp/<slug>.md, tasks/ROADMAP.md, and tasks/PHASES.md.
  • Backlog seeding: creates stub files under tasks/backlog/ to seed implementation work for future phases.
  • Real-world use case: when starting a greenfield project, use this to align stakeholders and set a concrete, testable plan.

Quick Start

Initiate an MVP session by clarifying the product, user, and problem, then run the /mvp workflow to generate the planning bundle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a Minimum Viable Product for a greenfield project?

Planning a Minimum Viable Product for a greenfield project involves defining the product, user, and problem to scope the smallest shippable features. The workflow generates planning artifacts including docs/mvp/<slug>.md, tasks/ROADMAP.md, and tasks/PHASES.md.

What artifacts are generated when defining an MVP roadmap?

Defining an MVP roadmap generates a planning bundle containing docs/mvp/<slug>.md, tasks/ROADMAP.md, tasks/PHASES.md, and backlog task stubs. These files align stakeholders and seed implementation work for future phases.

Can I scope a new feature addition using MVP planning?

Yes, MVP planning applies to both new apps and major feature additions for greenfield initiatives. It scopes the minimal marketable features and creates a phased task plan to ensure clarity before any code is written.

How do I seed a backlog for future development phases?

Seeding a backlog for future phases happens automatically during MVP planning by creating stub files under tasks/backlog/. This structures implementation work and surfaces rule-consent prompts when updates to the phased plan are needed.

What is the best way to align stakeholders before starting development?

Aligning stakeholders before development requires scoping the smallest shippable product through deliberate planning. Running an MVP session clarifies the product, user, and problem, then produces a concrete, testable plan.

MVP planning: when is it needed and what limitations exist?

MVP planning is needed for greenfield projects and new initiatives where deliberate scoping and roadmapping are required. It focuses on generating planning artifacts before coding and may surface rule-consent prompts when updates are needed.
