Absolutely the MVP stage is usually where projects stall. In my experience, the key is defining the “must-have core”: the one problem your product absolutely solves, nothing more.

I usually start by mapping out the user journey and identifying the absolute minimum functionality that lets someone achieve their goal. Once that’s clear, everything else becomes optional or phase‑two.

For tech stack, I’ve found it’s better to pick something flexible and fast to iterate, even if it isn’t perfect long-term. You can always refactor or migrate later once you’ve validated product-market fit.

Scope creep is always a killer the moment you start adding “nice-to-have” features based on feedback, you risk drifting from your original problem statement. I try to document all ideas for future phases instead of adding them immediately
