How to Use GitScrum for MVP Development Projects?
How to use GitScrum for MVP development projects?
Manage MVP development in GitScrum by ruthlessly prioritizing core features, using labels for MVP scope, and iterating quickly based on feedback. Document assumptions in NoteVault, track validation experiments. MVP teams with focused workflow launch 50% faster [Source: Lean Startup Research 2024].
MVP workflow:
- Hypothesize - Core assumption
- Define - Minimum scope
- Build - Core features only
- Launch - Get to users
- Measure - Collect data
- Learn - Analyze feedback
- Iterate - Improve or pivot

|---|---|
| mvp-core | Must have for launch |
| mvp-nice | Post-MVP feature |
| hypothesis | To be validated |
| experiment | Validation task |
| feedback | User feedback |
| learning | Documented insight |

| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Backlog | All ideas |
| MVP Core | Essential features |
| In Progress | Building |
| Testing | Quick validation |
