Well, if the product roadmap doesn't hold up to scrutiny, it _should_ be reevaluated. Too often people commit to something, and then continue building it, despite the market realities having shifted underneath them. I see most teams not asking themselves often enough "should we still be doing what we're doing", than the opposite. The sunk cost fallacy is real.
- ergocoder 11mo agoIt's called "thinking from the principle" for a reason. You will have to re-invent the whole product from the start...
- IcyWindows 11mo agoSometimes you can't get every staff engineer to agree to the plan, but you can't sit around forever unto someone caves.
- criemen 11mo agoNo, but especially of staff+ engineers I'd expect that they know how to disagree and commit after a reasonable (not too long!) time.
