This video is an extract for product managers, service designers and others people who make hardware, software or both. It might be good general life advice too!
- Make your requirements less dumb
- Your requirements are definitely dumb.
- Its particularly dangerous if a smart person gave them to you as you might not question them enough.
- Delete the part or process
- If you're not adding back then you're not deleting enough.
- Don't add requirements just in case, don't hedge your bets.
- Simplify/Optimise
- Don't optimise if it shouldn't exist.
- Accelerate cycle times
- But don't go faster if you haven't worked on the other 3 things first...
- If you're digging your grave don't dig your grave faster.
- Automate
- Don't reverse these 5 steps.
