“We need to ship faster,” I said to my team. “We know what we need to build, and the best thing we can do for our customers is get it into their hands faster.”
Another way to look at this is before shipping everyone talks/stresses about the date. After shipping the thing that matters is the quality. ( I believe this is a Steve Jobs truism..but I could be hallucinating) :)
Another perspective from Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos on this.
There are two types of decisions - one-way door and two-way doors.
One-way doors are consequential and irreversible. These decisions must be made methodically, carefully, slowly.
Two-way doors are changeable and reversible. These decisions should be made quickly.
