@allanberger
Ask yourself if the e?ort is applicable
Is it worth it to build the Cobblestone Road now?
!

Shall we rather build a Highway Version of a?
heavy used feature?
!

Do we need an Asphalted Road of this code part?
!

Does the customer gain bene?t if we ship just
the Dirt Road now?

Lean Product Management

@allanberger
Mindset to ship continuously

¡°

Would this version of the
product deliver more value to
the customer than the one
that¡¯s currently live?
