Iterate More, Plan Less

by JD
IterateMorePlanLess

I’m always on the prowl for useful insights.

A colleague, Dustin Andrew, has a useful post, Learn to Get Traction in Your Team.

I like his collection of tips, and I found myself using the phrase, “iterate more, plan less” a few times.

When I joined Microsoft, one of my rules was “avoid analysis paralysis.”

I avoid analysis paralysis by taking action, producing results, and changing the approach as I learn.

I’ve learned to improve by versioning perfection over time.

I find it’s easier to settle for “good enough’ for now, if there’s a chance to improve downstream (i.e. perfection as a journey vs. destination)
