The expensive mistake isn’t building the wrong feature. It’s building it twice.
We’ve seen the same pattern in early products:�
Teams rush to “finish,” skip the hard questions, then pay for it in rework.
The fix is boring (and it works):�Write down what “done” means.�
Decide what you won’t build this sprint.�Review weekly with real acceptance criteria, not vibes.
Speed isn’t shipping faster.�Speed is not having to redo the work.��
What’s one feature you had to rebuild after launch?
