Learning-by-doing and doing-by-learning. I write down my learnings, insights, and mistakes as a future reference for myself. As a bonus, I hope they are interesting for you too.
4. Team “Don’t F*** Up” and “Grow Quickly”
When building product, we usually try to avoid reactive and ad-hoc work as it is an expensive distraction from what you are currently working on and the future you might have planned ahead. However, sometimes you might feel there is a need to add a “reactional” or responsive element to your product development process.
3. Finding Your "Drumbeat" with Shape Up
The rhythm of a drumbeat is a perfect analogy for the cadence involved in building a product. Similar to the beat of a drum, the product development process needs to have a steady, predictable, and consistent tempo. In this post, I formulate my learnings about finding a rhythm and tempo that worked for us and how we adapted the Shape Up methodology to have a drumbeat that is in sync with other instruments in the company
2. Shaping In Practice
I am a big fan of Basecamp's Shape Up methodology to build product. Some would even call me a Shape Up evangelist. In this post, I would like to share with you a real life example of a pitch and how at Awell we are adapting the metholodogy to fit our needs and context.
