Articulating unique product development work as outcome hypotheses creates a clear expectation that it is a hypothesis and may be invalid…

A successful pattern is a twelve-month roadmap of quarterly outcomes, working backward from the multi-year and annual outcomes.

Don’t artificially lock in a fixed date if the date doesn’t need to be fixed. Don’t back yourself into a corner unnecessarily.

…even if you think the scope is fixed, legislation is usually written in a way enabling near-infinite ways to implement it.

Ideally, over time, dependencies are eliminated so that each value stream can deploy changes independently and on its own cadence.

Strong cybersecurity is now a competitive advantage with implications for individuals, economies, and society that stretch far beyond localized short-term losses.

…if people are fearful for their jobs and afraid to speak up, the result will be an unhealthy silence.

When honesty and openness are replaced by fear of reprisal, bad news is buried, problems are hidden, risks go unreported or misreported, and learning doesn’t happen, resulting in the worst possible outcome.
