💡 A Simple Example
The Release First mindset starts with how you handle reasonably complex information (a procedure, technical details, etc). There are two approaches:
- Email or message the information.
- Put it in Git and send a link or PR.
The first is transient, inaccessible, and difficult to build on or improve.
The second is permanent, reusable, accessible, and something people can build on. It is an asset.
Sure, there are times when email or messaging is the appropriate forum for discussions. But the minute there is something of value, turn that into a permanent, team-accessible asset. This is how teams build value.
