The outstanding items are the list of little pins that aggravate you and drive you nuts.
They are all the little things that hold you back from accomplishing your goal.
They are the little UX bugs that pop up every time you sign in.
They are the customer flow that still requires a manual step to be handled by your end user to work perfectly.
How do you know whether you should push it or not?
Here’s a simple test – If it bothers you or someone on your team, it’s going to bother someone else – you’ve lived and breathed the solution for longer than anyone else. You know better than anyone else that after a period of time this is going to bug them.
Don’t leave it as an outstanding item barnacle hanging onto your application – fix it, address is – and move on to the next challenge.
