Use this before you write a long feature list. Check only what is true today.
Scope
- One primary user is named.
- One core job is named.
- Non-goals are written down.
- The happy path is under ten steps.
Build
- A user can complete the job without you.
- Broken states have a message, not a blank screen.
- You can see that someone used it.
Learn
- You know which assumption this version tests.
- You have a date to review what you learned.
