MVP Settings Page Design for BudgetGo

Choosing what not to include is often the most difficult part of product design.

While working on the settings page for BudgetGo, the team and I had to make deliberate decisions about what should be included in the MVP and what could be deferred for the full V01 release.

Account management, security settings, notification controls, and export tools were all identified during scoping.

Every feature can feel important until you’re forced to prioritize clarity and impact. Overbuilding can lead to slower development, poor usability, and scattered product value.

To stay focused, I worked through user flows, mapped out feature dependencies, and validated assumptions with user research.

We plan to ship a settings page that supports just enough to test the user, and with more coming in V1 once real usage begins.

Designing within constraints forces better thinking. If you’re facing similar product decisions, simplicity is not the same as compromise.
