Building past launch
We look one quarter past launch before settling this one.
The first build and running it afterwards stay with the same person. What gets built the quarter after comes out of that. Once it is live we read the numbers together: where people drop off, what would make them stay.
We write the next quarter's list first and bring it in, having looked at what is getting a good response in that industry lately. A few quarters in, the questions change. What used to be "can this be done" becomes "what are we opening this quarter." How far it goes still gets written down again each quarter.
- Where it fits
- Places where nobody has decided who watches this after it ships. Places where re-tendering every next step is more trouble than it's worth.
- If you want to start small
- One thing you're already running becomes a one-quarter contract. At the end of it we write the next list together, and you say there whether it continues.
