Every delay in delivery increases the risk of wasted work, missed feedback, and shifting priorities. Ship small. Ship often. #SoftwareDevelopment #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften buff.ly/Mv25Vwc

Deferring delivery doesn’t make work safer. It just makes failures bigger and harder to fix. Frequent releases = lower risk. #SoftwareDevelopment #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften buff.ly/flbUuli

The further delivery is pushed out, the greater the chance you’re building the wrong thing. Shorten the loop. Reduce the risk. #SoftwareDevelopment #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften buff.ly/SfYbkyQ

Deferred delivery is added risk #SoftwareDevelopment #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften

Even when the destination is clear, small steps keep you from wandering off course. Validate as you go, not when it’s too late. buff.ly/Ao1x7yC #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #KnowTheProblemYouAreSolving #ValidateBeforeDuringAndAfter #SoftwareDevelopment

Example mapping can help you think through ways to slice a story into independent pieces. Look for related scenarios - same variant, same persona, etc. #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #ValidateBeforeDuringAndAfter #SoftwareDevelopment buff.ly/2pLHGpb

Smaller steps means learning faster. #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #SoftwareDevelopment buff.ly/R0xy1us

Certainty is a trap. Even when you know what to build, taking small steps ensures you’re still solving the right problem in the right way. buff.ly/Qon4YyI #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #KnowTheProblemYouAreSolving #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften #SoftwareDevelopment

Shipping a simple solution today means learning sooner. Waiting for a "better" solution next week means learning later. Choose wisely. #KnowTheProblemYouAreSolving bit.ly/3XlbP7r #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps bit.ly/41wPoyv

Even when you absolutely know what you need to build, breaking it down into tiny steps helps you validate you're still on the right path. bit.ly/3QBuKae #CreateSimpleThingsInSmallSteps #KnowTheProblemYouAreSolving #ReleaseRidiculouslyOften #SoftwareDevelopment
