World domination plans
published February 23, 2010
A minimal working product. These words seem to be very hard to grasp, I do not understand why. There is a study by the Standish Group, which claims that 45% of software features are never used and 19% are used only rarely. “This is something that we won’t need now, but will need it in the future”, I hear all the time. This kind of thinking is also very strongly present in RFQs (Request for Quotation). I call these world domination plans. A plan to build the greatest service from scratch and release it in a one big bang. “Not gonna happen”, I say.
Start with a minimal working product. This does not mean a crappy web page with animated GIFs and scrolling texts. No, it means a simplest thing that fulfills the most critical needs. Establish a constant flow of new important features, minimize a lead time, and listen your customers. This is how you build the greatest services.
