A few more quotes:
- Improving daily work is even more important than doing daily work.
- Being able to take needless work out of the system is more important than being able to put more work into the system
- We need to create a culture that reinforces the value of taking risks and learning from failure and the need for repetition and practice to create mastery.
- until code is in production, no value is actually being generated, because it’s merely WIP stuck in the system.
- Left unchecked, technical debt will ensure that the only work that gets done is unplanned work!
- Remember, outcomes are what matter — not the process, not controls, or, for that matter, what work you complete.
