The nice-to-have features stay in because cutting them feels like admitting the idea was small, and six months later the launch answers nothing because nobody can say which part users came for. The problem is not the budget. It is that nothing was set up to be learned from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is a forty two page book on cutting a first build down to what actually tests the idea. Four prioritization frameworks, the three prototype fidelities with their real tradeoffs, a six step usability test, and the metrics that say whether any of it worked. It is written for a founder building their first product, not for a product manager with a research team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"grp\"\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#00875C\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 10l4 4 8-9\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e The MoSCoW method with must, should, could, and won't sorted on a real freelancer app feature list\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#00875C\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 10l4 4 8-9\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e The Kano Model's five feature types, each mapped to a high, medium, low, or avoid MVP priority\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#00875C\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 10l4 4 8-9\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e The Impact versus Effort matrix, with the four quadrants turned into a build, consider, defer, or skip call\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#00875C\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 10l4 4 8-9\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Low, medium, and high fidelity prototypes compared on pros, cons, and what each one is actually for\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#00875C\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 10l4 4 8-9\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e The six step usability test, including the five to eight participants that surface most of the issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#00875C\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 10l4 4 8-9\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e The value proposition formula of for, who, our, that, filled in on a working example\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eYou can sort your feature list into four buckets before lunch and know what ships first.
