I believe that one of the most critical company values is to obsess over: "How fast are we learning?" This matters because learning velocity is often the first casualty of success. It's the value that's the most likely to degrade as a company grows. Too many companies have neglected to protect this value only to wake up one day wondering why nothing ships anymore. // Note: Although learning is often tied to shipping, you can also learn by talking to users, sharing prototypes, and more. Shipping a lot of crappy features won't teach you anything ??
I agree ??
Agreed. I would also add that learnings are diluted as companies are growing. When reorgs happen or when historical people leave, nobody is there anymore to remind why the product was built this way, how many times it pivoted, etc. and the company loses a lot of the learnings that brought it there.
It's ironic how learning loses ground as the business scales - especially as learning is the #1 enabler for better judgment (making the complexity that comes with scaling so much more easy to carry).
