Hacks for building an MVP
- Timebox your spec. Your spec is the list of things you need to build before you launch. If you want to launch in three weeks, then focus on the stuff you can build in three weeks.
- Write your spec. If you don't write things down, you may change them and not even realise it. If you write it down, you can be honest with yourself that you're changing it.
- Cut your spec. When you're a week into your three-week sprint, you may realise that you have too many things in your spec. Cut the things that are not that important.
- Don't fall in love with your MVP. It will probably change as you adapt.
