How do you choose MVP scope?

Verify only one hypothesis

I start with a mix of intuition and understanding of my target audience's key problem for my MVP. As it's released and starts getting used, the approach shifts towards being more data-driven. In my opinion, each iteration should heavily rely on user feedback and usage data, refining the scope of MVP over time😉

Prefer to tailor the scope to the current features on the mvp, testing as different hypothesis if they address the market’s needs 80-99% atleast

Define the most necessary features and go with that only

Consider user feedback and prioritize features based on their impact and value.

Evaluate if the product brings a single value that you want to valiadate and is usable. Cut off the rest!

At minimum the ability to solve a problem end to end. We're a little beyond MVP but I believe our app InOrbit - Just launched, meets our scope of facilitating sessions for meetings end to end. Check us out.

We define the problem We identify the key value proposition: the core value proposition of your product and the key features that are necessary to demonstrate it Feature Prioritization: Prioritize features that are essential to demonstrate the core value proposition and can be developed and tested with minimal resources. Create a roadmap: We create a roadmap that outlines the MVP development timeline and the features that will be included in each phase. Validate with user feedback: We continuously validate the MVP with user feedback to ensure it meets the needs of our target audience and identify areas for improvement. I must say that the scope of an MVP should focus on the minimum set of features required to demonstrate the core value of the product. It should not be a full-featured product, but rather a basic version that can be used to test the viability of the product idea.

A set of features that will allow you to call your solution as a product, and not just one element.

Depends on what the goal is. Ideally, I think, an MVP should help gather metrics from customer development and also show potential investors that your team is capable of implementing the project.

make sure that the scope resolves main user pain or cover key needs

When ever you create your product backlog it is always important to prioritize the Sprint Backlog items. Every Sprint Goal should have a viable output at the end of the Sprint. Which means the features you have prioritized should give some value add to the end user. It should be experienced by the end user. For e.g. You cannot plan Sign in and Sigh out features for a sprint. Even though you are churning out the backlogs they doesnt serve any purpose to the end user when you release at the end of the Sprint. Hence, the feature set you selected should have a meaningful outcome which can be tested and experienced by the end user.

We choose the MVP scope by identifying the core features that solve a specific problem for our target users, while keeping the application simple and functional. This ensures faster development, early user feedback, and allows us to iterate and improve based on real-world usage.
