(2022-03-17) Cutler The Basics

John Cutler: The Basics. I’m not a process freak, but I do believe teams should have their house in order. You can get by with very little process overhead. (This reminds me of the "Joel Test" checklist from Joel Spolsky.)

In my mind The Basics include:

A charter and mission

A strategy (strategic context)

One or more models

A roadmap filled with bets (Thinking in Bets)

Artifacts for those bets (one-pager)

Bet-related metrics, Input metrics, goals

Great kickoffs and great learning reviews

An approach to continuous improvement
