Writing the App Brief – The Credit Saver

Lesson 4: Must-Haves, Not-Now, and Never

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

  • Choose the smallest useful version 1.
  • Write a not-now list.
  • Write a never list of things the app must not do.

Lesson Content

  • Must-have: without it, version 1 is useless.
  • Not-now: good ideas for later.
  • Never: things the app must not do (store card numbers, show customers each other's data, send messages without approval).

The not-now list is the credit saver. Every feature you add early makes every later change more expensive and more fragile.
