The MVP That Doesn't Break
When Real Users Show Up

A battle-tested checklist to help you build fast,
avoid costly mistakes, and launch with confidence.

Thanks for attending my session at Pittsburgh TechFest.

Before You Build Another MVP...

Most MVPs don't fail because of bad ideas β€” they fail because of unclear requirements and rushed execution. Use this checklist to stay focused, intentional, and fast without creating a fragile product.

  • Defined the outcome and success metric

  • Mapped the user journey (one clear path)

  • Chosen the right tool for the job

  • Validated the core action with real users
