Recently Learned
Why we cancelled it
Brandon Keepers @GitHub shares his failure project experience and what he learned:
-
Lesson 1: Curate a collective vision for the product.
-
Lesson 2: When you figure out what your vision is, define what it means to be successful, and just as importantly, define what failure looks like. Set goals for achieving success, and check in on those goals at regular intervals.
-
Lesson 3: Create meaningful constrains that make it easier to avoid failure and be successful.
-
Lesson 4: If you care about people, the product will take care of itself. Pour all your energy into making sure your teammates are enjoying what they are doing. Happier people create better products.
-
Lesson 5: “Failure” is when you learn how to do something better the next time. I like failure.
