Red flags for teams that want to ship fast

[andyvan-ph]

Based on James topic of the day. Summary:

Even when we build the wrong thing or ship something that doesn’t work well, we learn the clearest lessons from something we shipped, not something we hypothesized about.
It should be a flag if
You are tagging lots of people for their input on something ESPECIALLY across teams
You need to do a meeting to agree something
You regularly need input from other teams on what your team are doing
You need to do a meeting before starting work on something
You are asking other teams to coordinate, make you aware or otherwise
Automate or trust them
You find yourself creating issues instead of doing stuff

Idea for the article would be a collection of potential red flags that we look for AND what to do about them – i.e. should be actionable, rather than just a list of problems with no cure.
