Too many founders jump into building their MVP with excitement—and end up rebuilding it again, just a few weeks later.
Why? Because they started coding (or no-coding) before scoping.
At Prime Dev, I help founders avoid that mistake by doing one thing first:
👉 We define what matters before we build anything.
🚫 The Mistake Most Founders Make
Instead of asking “What’s the one thing our app must do on day one?”, founders often ask:
“What features should we add?”
“Can we build a dashboard?”
“What if users want X too?”
This leads to bloated MVPs, longer timelines, and wasted budget.
✅ What ‘Scoping First’ Looks Like
Before you touch Glide, Webflow, or custom code—ask:
- Who is using this?
- What exactly do they want to achieve?
- What’s the one action they need to do successfully?
- What’s absolutely critical for them to get value?
From there, your MVP is obvious.
🛠️ A Real Example
A founder I worked with wanted to build a full platform for tracking expenses via banking APIs.
We scoped it down to a simple budgeting app that accepts uploaded CSVs first, saving 6+ weeks of development and letting users onboard faster.
The feedback?
“This is exactly what I needed. I would have never used the full version yet.”
🧠 My Simple MVP Scoping Checklist
- [ ] Who is the one user we’re targeting?
- [ ] What is the one action that gives them value?
- [ ] What is the smallest feature set that makes that action possible?
- [ ] What can wait for version 2?
If you can check those four, you’re ready to build.
💬 How I Help at Prime Dev
I specialize in no-code MVPs using Glide and Webflow.
But before we build, I help you scope your MVP like a product manager—not just a developer.
- From idea to launch in weeks
- Based on what users actually need
- Built lean, tested early
