Do you ship by date?
By state of quality?
By bugs left on the table?
By customer adoption rates?
By pre-order?
Do you grind late into the night on the last few weeks to get it all done?
Do you lay out your sprints so you have time to work on the unknown as it arises?
Do you pushback on new requirements? Everything has to be cut in stone?
Often times our delivery profile is pushed upon us, however, imagine the change that could happen if you stood up and said – this is how we should ship, this is what I believe in, this is what I want to focus on, and what matters to me, this is how I’ve been successful in the past.
It might not jive with everyone, that’s okay, but at least they know where you are coming from.
