NOTES
Notes from the build
What we learn as we build, change and scale technology.
When more engineers make delivery slower
Add engineers to an unclear objective and you get more work to undo. How to tell whether your next hire will speed delivery up or slow it down.
Most technology transformations start too big
Big programmes often deliver their value last. How to start with one result you can measure, and let each delivery earn the next.
AI has made software cheaper to build. It hasn't made technology easier.
AI has moved the risk from the build to the brief. How to define work precisely enough for a fast build to land where you meant.
