SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams define a minimal MVP scope by identifying the Core Value Loop, removing non-essential features, and establishing clear success criteria plus a validation plan before building the full product.

Core Features & Use Cases

Core Value Loop identification: map user action to value and the loop that drives retention, to decide what to build first.
Feature filtering framework: a three-question test to determine whether a feature belongs in MVP, plus a decision table and examples.
MVP guidance: types such as Concierge MVP, Wizard of Oz MVP, Landing Page MVP, and Functional MVP to choose the right approach.
MVP Scope Document: a structured artifact including Core Value Proposition, In Scope, Out of Scope, and Validation Approach.
Common mistakes to avoid: guidance on not over-scoping or over-engineering MVPs.

Quick Start

Identify your Core Value Loop for the target users, then apply the three-question test to each feature candidate and decide what to include in the MVP.

What is a core value loop and how does it define MVP scope?▼

What are the different types of MVP for product validation?▼

MVP types for product validation include Concierge MVP, Wizard of Oz MVP, Landing Page MVP, and Functional MVP. Choosing the right approach depends on whether you build, defer, or manually test demand.

How do I avoid over-scoping or over-engineering an MVP?▼

To avoid over-scoping an MVP, apply a feature filtering framework to remove non-essential features. Establish clear success criteria and a validation plan before building the full product to prevent over-engineering.

What should be included in an MVP scope document for backlog planning?▼

An MVP scope document for backlog planning should include the Core Value Proposition, In Scope items, Out of Scope items, and a Validation Approach with defined success criteria to guide development.
