@leeloo@c.im @slink@fosstodon.org To me, building a sustainable product means being able to say no to #featurefactory development processes. These “well-crafted” and extremely specific requirements (of course already including detailed solutions) often delivered by #hippo executives with absolutely no tech background will quickly destroy the product. Of course, it’s also challenging to have the freedom of saying no. Not easy with #opensource at all.

@leeloo@c.im @slink@fosstodon.org I think the Winchester Mystery House with its architectural curiosities illustrates well a #featurefactory product. To all managers out there: don’t be a #hippo. If you hire experts, let them be experts. Pic source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sarah_Winchester_tiny_stairs.jpg#mw-jump-to-license #productmanagement #productleadership #agile
