⏱️ How do you find time for higher value tasks?

Do you (and by extension your organization) find yourself mired in minutia and struggling to find time for higher value tasks? What is the solution?

You can hire more people to do the lower-value stuff (a perfectly valid approach). You can also own YOUR Platform.

One of the goals of Release First/Platform Thinking is to shift time from low-value tasks (tedious repetitive work) to high-value tasks (creative, innovative work).
