From experience most of the time when an engineer can't write down a design for what they'll be delivering over the next 6-12 weeks, they won't be able to deliver the desired outcome in shorter iteration cycles either.
- pmontra 7y ago6 to 12 weeks? I used to have 6 to 12 months and a team that delivered software and designs. Change of job, my customers ask me to deliver features in the next 6 or 12 days now, and I work less than 50% of the time for any them. Design is made on paper or only in my mind, documented in markdown (when I have plenty of time) or comments on YouTrack or kanbanize (customer choice), software written in Elixir, Python, Ruby, some JS. Sometimes I complain that they want to rush sw into production without letting it settle down in staging, then lose time fixing unexpected cases.
