One of my favorite books for product management and development is Rework by the folks at 37Signals. Here are some of my key takeaways that I always try to remember:
- Quick wins: Get something done (even if it is really small), and move on to the next thing
- Simplify, simplify: Keep solutions simple, don’t try to account for every potential issue that might arise
- Long lists don’t get done: Long lists make you feel guilty and they never get done. Break one long to do list into a bunch of smaller to do lists
- Break down your estimations: The smaller something is, the easier it is to estimate
- Make tiny decisions: Big decisions are intimidating, and we usually put them off. Breakdown your decisions, so you can keep the momentum going
- Checklists: If something is a repeatable process, make a checklist so you no longer need to think about it
- Complexity = Simplicity + Noise: If something is ambiguous, breakdown the complexity into buckets
