MVP Discipline

MVP discipline is the practice of deliberately limiting a first release to the smallest set of features that tests the core assumption.

Example

A team ships a manual process behind a simple form instead of building full automation, testing whether clients want the outcome before investing in the mechanism.

Why it matters

Testing the core assumption first avoids investing heavily in a feature before knowing whether the underlying need is real.

Limits and cautions

Cutting scope too far can produce a test that doesn't actually validate anything meaningful, wasting the cycle instead of shortening it.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's feature flags and phased rollout support testing a limited version of a workflow with a subset of clients or team members before wider release.

This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
