I think an interesting delivery metric would be the “Minimum Meaningful Change”. Across all the code in a system, what is the smallest change that could be empirically confirmed to have positively affected business outcomes? Working to make that trend towards zero seems like it would be helpful.

“So in reality prioritization happens in layers.
It’s something that starts at the top with your product vision and filters down.”

“The real solution to all of this is genuine alignment: teams with a clear and shared picture of the actual goal, incentives that reward working together rather than competing, and a collective understanding of the constraints and trade-offs the whole organization is operating under. “

“That is a real, non-imaginary, discontinuous forward leap in capabilities. This did not happen because AI is magic. It happened because Fin already had exceptionally high engineering discipline, fast feedback loops, and a culture of experimentation and measurement.2”

“When you strip people of the ability to question, to learn at their own pace, to experiment with tools on their own terms, you strip them of agency. You’re not asking them to adopt a tool. You’re asking them to stop thinking.”

“Both sides must make commitments (about the technical system or goals of the organization) that are (a) often wrong, and that (b) the other side is unable to independently verify. To avoid the trap, both sides have to be generous, willing to trust each other in their areas of expertise, and most importantly competent.”
