I don’t know.
It is important to listen to your users, but not necessarily do what your user’s want.
Especially in the context of the user’s role.
Adding a thousand requested features also has its drawbacks.
- tensor 7y agoIt's definitely a balance. I should have phrased it as "make sure the product satisfies your users needs" rather than their wants. And this isn't to say you should add a thousand features, but I do believe it's important that tech leads goals line up to users, not only to the technical excellence of the code. You can't make good decisions on technical improvements or debt reduction without balancing users needs. It's easy to build a straw man example that is on the extreme end to demonstrate this, so I won't do that. The day-to-day is more nuanced.
