Investments Unlimited

•  "It's amazing what happens when you can focus and finish a task, even on a seamingly tight deadline"
• The build trap
• a concept where if you only focus on delivering features and neglect experimentation and learning, than you likely aren't building the right thing.
• We never put stories in to improve and possibly re-architect our build process
• Everyone was so busy trying to keep up with daily work that they had no time to improve daily work.
• Architecture vs implementation: Implementation first is akin to the tail wagging the dog
• The Socratic method: Asking questions
• The fastest way to upset an Engineering team is to undertake a more intense process to develop and deliver their software.
• We just made the right way easy. We paved the road, if you will. And when you make the right way easy, people tend to do the right thing.
• In a presentation: On the screen were the words: "Why would we not want this?"
