90-Minute MVP Min-Spec Workshop
Struggling with feature creep? Define the absolute minimum viable product that still delivers value.
About this session
Product teams frequently face mounting feature requests that delay launches and dilute the core user experience. This session provides a structured way to strip away secondary requirements and isolate the absolute minimum functionality needed to deliver value. You leave with a finalized list of essential specifications and team agreement on what constitutes a launchable product.
Why it works
The process forces participants to justify every feature against the core product goal, shifting the focus from what is possible to what is critical. By requiring the group to explicitly define what they can live without, it builds the collective discipline needed to resist scope creep and ensures every stakeholder understands the trade-offs being made.
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
