Realistic SaaS Development timeline: Typical MVP: 6–10 weeks. Rushed timelines usually mean skipped steps you pay for later.

Where the time actually goes

  1. Scope the MVP: ruthlessly
  2. Build core loop: the thing users pay for
  3. Launch to first users: and instrument feedback
  4. Iterate: from real usage data

What delays projects (and how to prevent it)
