MVP Trimming Exercise
30 minEvery new project
Format: From a feature list, cut all unnecessary features.
Scenario: You're building a "Habit Tracker App" and the product manager gave you this feature list:
□ Add daily habits
□ Check-in records
□ Streak counter
□ Data visualization (charts)
□ Social sharing
□ Leaderboard
□ AI personalized suggestions
□ Push notifications
□ Multi-device sync
□ Dark mode
□ Custom themes
□ Import/export data
□ Team habits
□ Habit template library
□ Achievement system
Task: Keep only the features needed for MVP (maximum 5) and explain why you cut the rest.
Core Principle: If a feature doesn't directly help users complete the core task, it's not an MVP feature.
