Maybe, maybe not. I’m very suspicious of things that are pitched as a panacea for everything.
The real world is a messy place where even with a good team, a good plan and sensible expectations you can fail spectacularly.
If there is one thing that I really like is aggressive validation of the assumptions that are being made + keeping the product as small and lean as humanly possible (and the latter should apply across the board to everything you do).
Complexity and Entropy are preparing the coffin for your work even before you have the idea. You can give ‘em a run for their money, but in most cases you’re going to end up 6 feet under. As soon as you accept this and are genuinely open to failure you will be ready for the opposite.
- lostcolony 8y agoOh, I'm not saying it's a panacea for everything. Just that most issues I've seen along these lines were also accompanied with a perspective on the business side that their role was to give solutions, which were invariably insufficient, led to the dev team just doing the minimum (since they had no idea what the core problem was and thus were unable to determine where 'sufficient' really was), and that compounded.
