Project management tools are essential for teams, but building one as a SaaS MVP requires balancing feature depth with simplicity. Users expect fast task boards, real-time collaboration, file sharing, timelines, and team visibility. Overbuilding early can delay launch, while underbuilding can reduce adoption.
