Here is the list I go through …
- DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE END USER
- TRUST DEVELOPERS TO MAKE GOOD DESIGN DECISIONS
- HOPE FOR A SILVER BULLET DESIGN
- BUILD FOR EVERYONE
- LAUNCH & FORGET
- DO NOT DEFINE SUCCESS
- AVOID ALL CONFLICT
- BELIEVE YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO SELL YOUR IDEAS
- PLAN FOR PERFECTION
- VALUE PROCESS OVER THE PRODUCT
