Pyramid of Overwhelming Stuff to Do
@scottporad: "Lean Startup in a tweet: make a change to product or message, measure impact on revenue, build on the result, or iterate."
WINs
Clear Objectives “Objectives are different than goals”
Surface the Assumptions “All suffering is a result of differences in expectations.”
Cheezburger Project Summary • Problem • Hypothesis • Proposed Solution • Definition of Done • Requires Split Test • Measure of Success • Requires External Support • Dependencies
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify “The simplest thing that could possibly work.”
Avoid Design in Isolation “Two heads are better than one.”
Minimize WIP “Multitasking is just screwing many things up simultaneously.”
Book Club “Learning organizations learn together.”
