But we also hear "Ship it when it's ready." These conflicting messages are so confusing... ;)

  You have to have to pre-define 'ready' with your team to be able to know when to ship.

  Time or scope. Pick one.

  Software never is "ready". Software might just be "ready enough", whereas "ready enough" depends on audience and domain, I think. For example, an in-house alpha test version for a game might be "ready enough" if the software can display a ball the user can control, while a mars rover control system is "ready enough" for actual mars deployment after years and years of testing.
