> product launches and cancellations are a consequence of an internal culture that rewards launching new products, but not maintaining or improving them
This is very stale information at this point. Product launches are now pretty heavily gated, and promotion criteria are far less based on launches than on overall impact, including but not limited to improving/maintaining products.
(Googler but interpretation is my own)
- mrwh 5y agoI think that depends where you are. There's a lot of lip-service being paid, but from what I've seen, it's mostly translated to talking about _landings_ rather than _launchings_, which isn't much of a change. (Also a Googler.)
- danans 5y agoI think landings allows for a much broader scope of accomplishments. For example, if refactor an entire system for demonstrably better maintainability and efficiency, that's a landing, but not a launch.
