Assess whether a product feature is worth building by evaluating feature context, applying KANO classification, defining the minimum desirable product scope, and establishing measurable success criteria before development.

The best way to prioritize features for a product roadmap is to classify them using KANO categories to determine must-have, performance-driven, delighter, or cut candidates, then define the minimum valuable scope before committing build effort.

Define the minimum desirable product scope by identifying the smallest version of a feature that still delivers meaningful user value while explicitly separating deferred scope from immediate implementation requirements.

Yes, you can establish success metrics and failure conditions before development by defining observable launch metrics during the feature viability assessment to measure outcomes immediately upon release.

Defer or cut a proposed feature when the KANO classification indicates it is not a must-have, performance-driven, or delighter, and the minimum desirable product scope fails to justify the build effort.

Feature viability assessment works for customer-requested features by structuring the evaluation of context, KANO classification, and success criteria to decide whether to build now, defer, or remove the request.
