A realistic 30-day MVP plan

2026-01-238 min read

A week-by-week plan for founders who need an MVP without cutting corners on quality.

Week 1: define the smallest useful product

Write one paragraph that describes the product and who it is for.

Then cut the scope until it fits a single primary workflow.

Week 2: ship the core experience

Build the main flow end to end. Keep UI clean and consistent so the product feels finished.

Week 3: fix the edges

Handle error states, empty states, and loading states. These decide whether the product feels stable.

Week 4: polish and measure

Add light analytics, clear onboarding, and a feedback loop to learn from early users.
