Frequently asked questions
Should I include QA time separately?
Yes — testing effort often scales with feature complexity and is frequently underestimated when cutting scope.
Does cutting a feature always save exactly this much?
This is an estimate based on your inputs — actual savings depend on whether the feature had hidden dependencies.
Should I delete the feature idea entirely?
No — move it to a clearly labeled post-launch backlog rather than losing the idea.
