Skip operations, ship the core on true relaxed

mvp scope

Standard depth, but trims the front and back of the workflow to ship the core fast. Ideation runs a reduced ceremony (no market-research, no team-formation, no approval-handoff) and the entire operation phase is skipped — an MVP proves the product, it does not yet carry production operations weight.

Change Control defaults to relaxed: an input that changes after approval is recorded and announced in one line, and the run continues.

Why these stages, why skip those

The full inception and construction passes stay EXECUTE: an MVP is still real software that needs design, code, and tests. What it skips is the discovery overhead that only pays off at scale (market-research, team-formation) and the operation stages (deployment-pipeline, environment-provisioning, deployment-execution, observability-setup, incident-response, performance-validation, feedback-optimization), which belong to a product past its first proof. Promote to feature or enterprise when the MVP graduates.

Membership

Keyword triggers: mvp, minimum viable. Initialization, the reduced ideation set, all of inception, and the build path of construction run; operation is skipped wholesale.
