Inspired by Roo Reynolds’ post about technologies to focus on, I’ve been raiding my box of “things I mean to blog about some time” to work out what my own list would be. Less technology here, more attitudes to getting stuff done.
You know the deal – while I value the things on the right, I value the ones of the left more…
- Service (singular) more than products (plural)
- The minimum viable more than the grand projet
- Humble historicism more than accelerationist exceptionalism
- Execution more than ideation
- Continuous improvement more than hit-and-run projects
- Launching more than landing
- Reflective iteration more than flashes of inspiration
- Small stories more than big data
- Variability more than scalability
- Flood plains more than waterfalls
- Agile more than PRINCE2
- Opex more than capex
- Teams more than resources
- The training budget more than the R&D budget
- The stationery cupboard more than the Intranet
What should I expand on? What did I miss?
