Deciding
What to Build
Deceit and trickery


Three-headed reptile/beast/humany thing


Demons whipped by demons whipping humans


Lake of boiling pitch


Various diseases




Fraud
ROADMAPS
Anything with both a
timeline and
features.
The answer can’t be
“I don’t know.”
But that’s the only
answer that isn’t a
lie.
Erosion of trust
between engineering
and the rest of the
business
Death march to meet
release dates
Marketing
dependency on
product releases
Premature decision
making
Huge waste of
everyone’s times
Inconstancy
Inconstancy:
A Sphere of Heaven
Get rid of roadmaps
Explain their
consequences to
everyone
Make a document
called “what we are
working are” and
give everyone edit
access
Change the
document when
things change
Each person is
responsible for the
expectations they
set
Two teams


They fight each other


Endlessly


While carrying heavy weights


Unresponsive




Greed
You and your team
aren’t going to
accomplish what you
think you are
You will do more
things poorly
You will complete
less things
You will do easy
things instead of
important things
The Wise
Take what you think
you can do




Divide by 4
Take the time you
think you’ll do it in




Times by 2
Make a list of what is
important

Make a list of what
you’re doing

Compare
Start with the
important stuff
You will never do the
things that aren’t
important
Gigantic worm


Vast vile slush produced by ceaseless foul


Icy rain on top of everything


Sightless and heedless of neighbors




Gluttony
We have so many
tools!
Look we even built
our own tool!
We have to use lots
of tools because
nothing is perfect for
us
We have to use lots
of tools because
subtle feature
differences
profoundly affect the
way we work
We have to keep
switching tools until
we find something
that works
The Contemplatives
The tools aren’t the
problem



You are
Get rid of all your
tools
BUT WHAT ABOUT
OUR BUG
TRACKING
SYSTEM
IMPLEMENTED
ACROSS 3
DIFFERENT TOOLS
Let the fear take
you



Delete it all
Not that bad, actually


Green fields


There’s even a castle


“Inactive” sins


Can’t attain better world




Limbo
The state of being
somewhere OK but
you can’t get
anywhere better
Technical debt
Justice
Let’s get really real
about culture
I literally don’t care
what kind of furniture
you have
Culture is about
what is more
important than other
things
Culture picks
between alternate
good things
Culture picks bad
things
Technical debt is a
cultural problem
Features




Technical Debt
THE STUFF
UNDERNEATH THE
API
Expose internal
ghettos
Spread the pain
around
Acknowledge
technical debt
Swamp-like river Styx


Wrathful fight each other


Sullen lie beneath the water


There’s also a marsh




Anger
People have
opinions
Not every opinion
makes it
Resentment and
distrust
Loss of faith in the
product
Earthly Love
Create a culture
where it’s safe to talk
about the product
Not everything
counts as a feature
request
Answer “why”
Talk more about
tradeoffs
Feedback loop
Team exercises
Extend trust to
people in your
company who aren’t
engineers or
developers
For each
hell, a
matching
heaven.
Be honest
with each
other
