Zusammenfassung

Bestselling author Stephen R. Covey speaks from the bottom of my heart when he says "If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster." While I have seen so many teams focus on increasing velocity and delivering stuff fast rather than discovering and shipping the most relevant things in my work, I lean on two principles: - Learning fast Validating your most impactful assumptions as soon and as lean as possible will help save the efforts of going all in too early and at high risk. - Building with proven confidence Knowing by reliable evidence that what you are building is a life-tested solution for a real problem saves a fortune of money not spent on stuff that doesn't pay back. Let's stop the waste and create products that are diamonds rather than expensive glass beads.
