I wasn’t planning to write a series this week, but after two days of sharing my own ideas on the issue of speed I thought I still need to get to hear what you have to say on the topic. So here we go: a third post about speed.
If you are new to my blog, here’s a quick recap of what has happened this week:
Two days ago I claimed that we should slow down in order to make sure we are working on the right thing and won’t burn ourselves out while doing it.
Yesterday I reiterated the thought by reminding that going fast also has its benefits: it can position you as leader and give you advantage against your competition.
But how do we know what the correct speed is?
When we plan a schedule, how do you know that you’re going fast enough, but not too fast?
How do you decide if a specific project needs to have an “aggressive” schedule or not?
Big questions, I know. But the real question is what would happen if we didn’t go quite as fast as we usually do. If you are used to doing really aggressive scheduling and always beating the clock, would something bad happen if you slowed down a bit?
Here’s all I’m going to say today. Now it’s time for some free speech.
Let me know what you think about these questions or some of your own related questions. And for the ones who don’t feel like writing comments, here’s a quick poll so you can participate by just choosing the option closest to your opinion.
