SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MVP Force provides a disciplined gate for deciding whether a project can be shipped in 3 days at 50% effort, forcing a lean scope and preventing feature creep.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stepwise scoping: captures all planned features, then applies a survival filter to keep at most three critical elements.
  • 3-day MVP planning: estimates effort per surviving feature and enforces a total 3-day limit.
  • MVP spec generation: outputs a compact, actionable MVP scope with clear success criteria.

Quick Start

Describe your project and intended features in natural language, then invoke the MVP workflow to generate a lean 3-day MVP plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I force a lean MVP scope and prevent feature creep in early-stage product plans?

You can prevent feature creep by applying a survival filter to your project plan, reducing the feature list to at most three critical elements. This disciplined gate enforces a lean MVP scope by eliminating non-essential features early.

What is the 3-day MVP rule for project planning and how does it work?

The 3-day MVP rule is a planning constraint that limits total development effort to three days by estimating one day of effort per surviving feature. It works by filtering your planned features down to a maximum of three critical elements.

How do I generate an MVP spec from a list of planned features?

You generate an MVP spec by listing all planned features, applying a survival filter to keep three or fewer critical elements, and estimating one day of effort per survivor. The result is a compact MVP scope with clear success criteria.

Can I use this MVP workflow for early-stage products with more than a handful of features?

Yes, this MVP workflow is specifically designed for early-stage product plans with more than a handful of features. It guides teams through feature listing, survival filtering, and sprint-sizing to enforce a lean 3-day scope.

What's the best way to prune features and size sprints for a 3-day MVP?

The best way to prune features is to map your planned list through a survival filter, retaining at most three critical elements. You then size the sprint by estimating one day of effort per surviving feature to meet the 3-day limit.

When should I not use a 3-day MVP constraint for project planning?

You should not use a 3-day MVP constraint when your project requires more than three critical features or cannot be delivered at 50% effort. It is designed for early-stage scoping and disciplined feature pruning, not complex, multi-sprint development.
