Delivering Fewer, More Complete Things

Delivering Fewer, More Complete Things

There's a hidden truth in sprint planning

I'd rather deliver fewer tickets that are truly done than more tickets that will be reopened.

Quality integrated early slows apparent velocity but increases real velocity, because rework is invisible drag.

The most efficient teams are not the fastest in a single sprint. They're the ones who revisit the least.

A ticket isn't done when it moves to "done." It's done when it doesn't come back.

This is the kind of thing I write about.
