This week a web project that I’m working on started to fall behind. On the key things that made this happen was adding a set of feature requests last minute.
I understand it’s important to deliver value, but when new sets of features are added to a project, it causes the project to slip.
What should you do?
Learn to say, “No.”
It’s hard to do, but take the design of the iPhone for example. Instead of saying yes to more features, Steve Jobs took the approach of saying “No,” in order to create something light-weight, elegant and a work of genius.
Less is more.
