MVP Development Without Budget Overruns or Drama

Most MVP projects fail before launch. Endless feature discussions, scope creep, and timeline slips kill momentum and budgets.

Here's how focused development eliminates common startup pitfalls.

No Meetings Strategy Accelerates Development

Status meetings consume 20-30% of development time. Weekly check-ins require preparation, attendance, and follow-up documentation. Scheduling across time zones delays progress.

Async communication via Orchestra board provides real-time visibility without interruption. Progress updates happen when work completes, not when calendars align. Questions get immediate written responses instead of waiting for next meeting.

Developers focus on building instead of explaining. You review actual working features instead of slide presentations.

No Babysitting Required

Traditional development requires constant client oversight. Project managers need direction on priorities. Developers ask permission for technical decisions. Clients manage timelines and coordinate team members.

Fixed scope eliminates decision paralysis. Technical expertise handles implementation choices. Clear weekly deliverables remove management overhead. You define requirements once during discovery, then receive completed features.

Direct communication channel for urgent issues only. No progress management, status tracking, or team coordination needed.

Six-Week Timeline Stays Fixed

Open-ended development leads to perfectionism and feature creep. "Just one more feature" extends timelines indefinitely. Analysis paralysis prevents launching.

Six-week constraint forces priority clarity. Essential features get built first. Nice-to-have items become post-launch enhancements.

Scope changes during development: Timeline remains fixed at 6 weeks. New requirements mean adjusting scope or removing other features. Major changes can pause/cancel project since MVP package is subscription-based underneath.

Real deadline accountability drives daily progress decisions.

Team Collaboration Built-In

Orchestra board allows unlimited team members from your company at no extra cost. Designers, marketers, and stakeholders can collaborate directly without communication overhead.

Everyone sees real-time progress without status meetings. Comments and feedback happen in context of actual work.

Solo Operation Transparency

Varstatt is one-person business. All code, documentation, and infrastructure access provided to prevent vendor lock-in. In genuine emergencies, project pauses until return.

Continuous documentation and client access ensures no single point of failure for your MVP.

Comprehensive Warranty Protection

Three-month coverage includes all bug fixes and performance issues. Warranty definition: If something should work as designed but doesn't, especially if it blocks core purpose, it's covered.

Performance scaling covered if MVP was designed for specific load requirements. Major feature additions excluded.

Coverage excludes major feature additions or scope changes. Warranty transfers to your technical team or future developers. Documentation provided for maintenance after warranty period.

Continuous Handoff Process

Micro-training happens throughout development, not just at end. Weekly screencasts show what's built and how to use it. Final handoff adapts to specific client needs.

Ad-hoc training sessions available during and after development. No standardized process - everything based on what you actually need.

No Business Guarantees

Product functionality guaranteed through warranty. User adoption, conversion rates, and business success depend on your marketing, positioning, and traffic quality.

Working MVP delivered. Business results depend on how you use it.

Pricing
