How deal with new task
Taken from Twitter conversation: https://mobile.twitter.com/edo/status/1552551543915831299
- Don’t jump to solutions - take the time to build a deep shared understanding of the problem space, before thinking about solutions. Pause, because great solutions come from a great understanding of the context.
- Useful questions:
- What is the problem?
- Who has the problem?
- Why is it important to solve this now for the business/users?
- When do we know we are succesful?
- What are we not trying to solve or build - non-goals / out of scope
