🚀 Shipping faster - what are the stakes?
What do project delays cost? The obvious thing is the loss of revenue. Time is money.
However, there are other less tangible consequences:
- Customers lose interest.
- Team loses motivation.
- Supporting organizations (vendors/communities) may not take the team as seriously.
- Automating and improving the process never happens as there is more and more pressure to ship and no time to do anything else.
Think of this as a flywheel, either speeding up or slowing down. The forces on this flywheel are imperceptible - a small push here, some drag there.
The simplest way to speed up the product development flywheel is to ship faster by focusing on quality releases. Start by shipping quality internal releases.
