Purpose
This document explicitly lists features, capabilities, and enhancements that are intentionally excluded from the MVP scope. These may be considered for future releases.
For each excluded item, record the rationale and a traceability reference (feature ID or —). If a stakeholder later asks "why isn't X in the MVP?", the answer should be findable here.
Deferred Features
[Category 1, e.g. Collaboration & Communication]
| Item | Rationale | Traceability |
|---|
| [Deferred capability] | [Why it is excluded: complexity vs. value, dependency, timing.] | [F-xxx / —] |
| [Deferred capability] | [Why it is excluded.] | [—] |
[Category 2, e.g. Integrations & Export]
| Item | Rationale | Traceability |
|---|
| [Deferred capability] | [Why it is excluded.] | [—] |
[Category 3, e.g. Reporting & Analytics]
| Item | Rationale | Traceability |
|---|
| [Deferred capability] | [Why it is excluded.] | [—] |
Infrastructure & Operations
| Item | Rationale | Traceability |

| [Deferred capability, e.g. multi-region deployment] | [Why it is excluded.] | [—] |
Revisit Criteria
These out-of-scope items may be reconsidered when:
- MVP has validated the core value proposition with real users
- User feedback indicates strong demand for specific capabilities
- Technical debt from MVP has been addressed
- Team capacity allows for expansion beyond core workflows
