REPORTING MVP SCOPER

Reporting MVP Scoper

Define the smallest reporting capability that delivers customer insight, and get a scope-tightness score checking you haven't built a full BI tool by accident.

  • Uses your inputs in a transparent calculation
  • Instant result with practical next steps
  • No signup required

Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

How it works

1

State the key question

One question the report must answer keeps scope narrow.

2

List metrics

3-5 metrics is typically enough to answer a focused question.

3

Decide on filtering and export

Both add complexity — defer unless clearly needed at launch.

Frequently asked questions

How many metrics should a first report show?

3-5 is a reasonable range — more starts to resemble a full BI tool.

Do I need date filtering at launch?

Often not — a simple fixed view (e.g. this month) is enough until customers ask for more.

What if customers want a dashboard, not a report?

Start with the single question this tool scopes, then expand once that's validated.
