Very nice first article. Thanks for sharing these heuristics for prioritization. The point about truly time-sensitive work seems very interesting topic and I found very inspiring the phrase "Planning too far into the future isn’t useful to teams that iterate quickly". I am keen to read your next post. Warmest regards, Alex.

The reason management gives us for all the planning and roadmaps is the people who are paying us want to know what they’re getting and when they’re getting it before they write the check. They wouldn’t give a blank check to a contractor and say “build me a house” without blueprints, a budget, and a schedule. How would you respond to that?

Fantastic post! You've helped articulate many of thoughts I've been having and given me some new things to think about. Sharing this with my team and looking forward to the next one!

Whenever I try to bring these types of argument up, the inevitable response I hear is that "deadlines are required in the real world". I would love to hear how you respond to this.
