Summary
- Provides a five-step decision framework (validate problem, check alignment, measure impact, assess complexity, gut check) to evaluate every feature request before building
- Includes scope management rules: define your MVP upfront, track scope changes like code, apply a 48-hour waiting period for new requests, and use budget-based trade-offs to prevent additions
- Offers templates for saying no to stakeholders, executives, users, and AI agents, plus a scope decision log to document all feature choices
- Addresses AI-specific risks: validates that AI features solve real tasks, measures actual usage, and treats agent suggestions as stakeholder requests subject to the same rigor
- Includes recovery strategies for already-bloated products and session discipline checks for AI-assisted development to prevent mid-build scope creep
