Finding the Bottleneck in Product Development

Every optimization away from the bottleneck is an illusion. The Book "The Goal" talks about this in the context of fabrics. Here you can see the bottlenecks literally in the form of stock that pile up in front of the machines.
It is more complicated in software development. Here the path of production is not clear. Not even the "machines are clear. Here helps the circle of product development that I saw from Kent Beck (I don't know where or when).


This is a great framework to detect the bottleneck. I work on it - everything else is an illusion. Besides this, the circle should become as fast as possible. To accelerate it I can use the flywheel concept.

Choose Projects you do NOT do!

Inspiration from FluentC++ Choose which project NOT to work on. Be clear what you want and which projects are toxic. Keep the Hedgehog-concept in mind. Be sure that you are a) deeply passionate about the project b) the project can be the best in the world quality c) you can earn money with it If one of the three points is not met and not realistic soon don't do the project. Play around with it privately. Maybe you can pivot there so that it meets the criteria.
