Lab notes.
Write-ups for the people who pay for software and have to live with it afterward: how to scope a first release, what discovery should produce, and how to choose a mobile approach. No jargon without a definition, and sources at the end of each note.

-
5.1Strategy
Scoping an MVP
How to decide what goes into a first release, and what waits: one user and one job, a thin slice across the journey, MoSCoW, and manual workarounds.

-
5.2Process
What a discovery sprint produces
The seven things you should hold after one or two weeks of discovery, and how to tell whether it worked.

-
5.3Mobile
Native vs. cross-platform
Swift and Kotlin, or one shared codebase? When each approach earns its cost, and what stays the same either way.

Have a question we should answer?
If you are weighing a software decision and cannot find a straight answer, send us the question. Good ones become notes.
