Speed to Market

Are you struggling to get to market quickly? Want to get to your customers, your market at ‘Flash’ speed? Start with two questions:

  • Do you know your Customers?
  • Do you know the minimum viable product (MVP) – the minimal functionality that you need to build and get to your customer?

Being an Agilist, I strongly believe in continuous improvement. We all can be better at what we are doing. We can use the ‘state’ where we are as a baseline, and find ways to improve and become better at what we do. This is a series of Photo/Blog posts that will touch on the topic of ‘Improving ourselves’, on Productivity Hacks, the tips, tools, and/or techniques that can put us on a lane of ‘hyper Productivity‘. My goal is not to radically change things overnight, or I am not looking for a big bang change, but rather I am looking for the incremental improvements.

This is first tip comes from a book titled The Rich Employee by James Altucher. 

Every day focus on 1% improvement of what I call the daily practice.@jaltucher The Rich Employee #getHyper Share on X

After all, (agile) transformation is a journey, and one or two changes alone can not make it happen. My goal here is to provide you those catalysts that will cause a chain of (positive) change. These catalyst will help you change the mind set to the one that is continuously looking for value, opportunities for improving and eliminating (or at a minimum, minimizing) waste.

So, buckle up, and get ready to get on hyper productivity land! Let’s #getHyper!
