It is not worthwhile to add features just because adding them is convenient for the team, or because internal stakeholders want some feature in there - all about this and more in this episode on Feature Creep - based on an excerpt from the Universal Principles of Design.

The 31.5 Guy

All decisions in life can be summarised into a flowchart-like system. If you ask a few questions in succession, based on the “yes” and “no” answers that you receive, you’ll be able to make an educated and well-thought out decision, that not only doesn’t disregard associated risks, but also takes very less time - all about it in this episode - based on an excerpt from The Decision Book, by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler.

In the words of Gretchen Rubin, "If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough." Similarly, if you have no clue about your strengths, your weaknesses, your opportunities, or your threats, you'd be ill-positioned in not only all events concerning your professional life, but also the more vital, personal one. All about SWOT analysis in this episode, based on an excerpt from The Decision Book, by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler.
