There's a subtle but important thing to note here. My bet is management didn't hate that you did a POC. They hated that you DIDN'T also do a writeup.
It's not about this vs that. Meet the minimum requirements before you go doing extra.
- imoverclocked 5y agoIt’s all about communication. I think of a POC as way to communicate what it is that needs to be created. I think a document is another way of communicating what needs to be done. Mandating one or the other seems like a fools errand to me since each one has strengths and weaknesses.
- gpapilion 5y agoFrankly having been that manager, the demo shows what you’ve done. It didn’t lay out how to get the whole project there. The documents are hard specifically because not you have to consider alternatives, or the feasibility of executing. What security concerns did I cover? How much time do I need to spend convincing team y to add this feature? The demo is always the easy 50%, and never the hard parts that cause you to spend two years building alignment and executing.
