No clear goal, no feature breakdown, no prioritization, no schema design, no HLD or LLD, ignoring dependencies, no estimates, no feedback, treating the plan as fixed, and no write-up.
Tag each feature as Must Have, Should Have, or Nice to Have. The MVP includes only Must Have features. Without prioritization, you build everything at once and ship nothing.
Estimates expose unknowns. The act of estimating forces you to break vague work into pieces small enough to estimate. Even rough estimates prevent the no-idea-how-long-this-will-take failure mode.
