12. Ask yourself if the eﬀort 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 beneﬁt if we ship just the Dirt Road now? Lean Product Management @allanberger
13. Mindset to ship continuously “ Would this version of the product deliver more value to the customer than the one that’s currently live? ” Lean Product Management @allanberger
