Spend too much time keeping your weapons in development and you may find that by the time they are ready your strategy for implementing them is no longer relevant or, worse, that you have already lost the war.
A good analogy for the importance of getting to market with what works, not what is perfect.
- grecy 12y ago> A good analogy for the importance of getting to market with what works, not what is perfect. I would argue they were already "at market" with what works - older subs, bullets, torpedoes and tanks, and while doing that, they were trying to innovate something better. They obviously weren't aiming for perfect, because they did get it finished - it would never have been done if the goal was "perfect". Had they not tried to innovate something better, we'd be criticizing them now saying "this is a good analogy for the importance of continual improvement of your product that's in the market"
