MVP Planning
Validate the problem, define the minimum evidence generating scope, and prepare the product for development.
Desired outcome
A focused MVP plan with target users, assumptions, scope, evidence needs, risks, and development ready requirements.
Who this is for
- Founders and teams with a promising idea but uncertainty about what should be built first.
- Organizations whose proposed MVP is expanding before the core assumptions have been tested.
- Teams preparing to commit development budget and needing a stronger evidence and scope boundary.
Common reasons to engage
- The MVP keeps accumulating features because every stakeholder considers their request essential.
- The team can describe the solution but cannot clearly state which assumptions the first release must test.
- Development estimates are rising before customer value, workflow, and success criteria are sufficiently defined.
How the engagement works
PeterPaps starts with the decision, customer problem, evidence, constraints, and stakeholders that matter. The engagement is then structured around practical choices, explicit tradeoffs, and an executable path forward.
The scope is intentionally outcome oriented. It can include discovery, prioritization, roadmap decisions, requirements, stakeholder alignment, validation planning, or operating guidance depending on the service.
What you should leave with
- A defined target user, problem, workflow, and desired outcome.
- Prioritized assumptions and an evidence plan for testing the riskiest ones.
- A bounded MVP scope with development-ready requirements, exclusions, success measures, and decision points.
When this is not the right fit
- Teams seeking a large first release disguised as an MVP.
- Projects where the solution and scope are fixed and no validation decisions remain.
- Organizations unwilling to remove low-evidence features from the initial scope.
