Another big part of doing less is releasing once you've got an 80% application for 20% of the work. Any additional time spent adding features will be at a lower ROI.
- Retric 18y agoROI relates to profit not just cost. Going from 80% to 95% might cost 5x as much, but if you get 5x as many customers it's probably worth it. Heck depending on the profit margin spending 5x as much for 10% more customers might be worth it. After a while adding features is more about keeping customers and killing off the competition than it is growing the market. Most users probably use 25% of Photoshop, but they don't all use the same 25%. Which makes it much harder to compete with Photoshop.
