Embracing Small Iterations
At the core of our work philosophy lies the commitment to small iterations. Instead of undertaking large-scale overhauls, focus on making incremental improvements one step at a time. By keeping the iterations short, we can gather feedback quickly and deliver value at a faster pace.
Small iterations offer the following benefits:
Strive to implement the swiftest change possible that enhances the outcome. Don't wait for a polished solution; if your idea is an improvement, act on it.
When proposing changes that aren't essential for the first iteration, create a separate issue for them. Avoid drafting extensive plans; focus on outlining the initial step. Trust that you'll be better equipped to proceed once the first iteration is released.
The term 'viable' is key here, as it emphasizes that changes should be sustainable and advantageous in the long run.
You'll know you're on the right track if the minimal feature set in the first iteration feels slightly unpolished. This value is often underestimated by newcomers to our team. The impact of making quick decisions and embracing change with limited consultation is more profound than expected. More often than not, the simplest version proves to be the most effective.
