Software project planning guides
Work through the decisions that shape a first software release. These guides help you define what users need to accomplish, choose what belongs in the initial scope and understand the assumptions behind a development budget.
Decide what your first MVP should include
Use a complete user journey to separate essential features from later ideas. The scope guide includes an illustrative client-approval workflow, acceptance checks and a brief you can adapt to your own product.
Plan an MVP development budget
See how requirements translate into work categories, how to compare proposals and which operating costs need their own allowance. A hypothetical calculation shows the arithmetic without presenting it as a project quote or market price.
Use the guides together
Start with scope if the first release is still unclear. Then use the cost guide to identify the assumptions an estimate must address. If a budget discussion reveals too much work, return to the intended user journey and decide what can change while preserving the outcome you need to test.
