The Lean MVP Scoping Workshop

Stop feature creep. Use this workshop to strip your product down to the essential value proposition.

About this session

Projects often stall when stakeholders struggle to distinguish between essential functionality and secondary features. This workshop provides a framework to prune the roadmap, resulting in a lean product definition that prioritizes speed to market and core user value.

Why it works

The process forces a shift in perspective from exhaustive feature lists to the smallest possible solution that solves the core problem. By applying strict constraints to the discussion, it surfaces hidden disagreements about priorities and builds consensus through objective evaluation rather than individual preference.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for

Product Designers, UX Researchers
