Decisions; too, can be changed.

“Everytime, I come to you to confirm the old requirements; you give me new changes”, my project manager protests.

The order screen on the consumer app was too congested especially with the addition of the calendar to allow users to select their preferred days for pre-orders. There were few unnecessary elements on the UI and the formatting needed some improvements as well.

Changes could delay the delivery of the product, but changes are inevitable. It’s the law of the nature as there are countless improvements around you that forces you to adopt those changes in your product. Similarly, what you thought works might look clunky once designed.

So if changes are inevitable, how do we manage to ship in time and still make way for the necessary changes?

The key to this lies in decision making. We cannot possibly get everything right the first time. We cannot possibly come up with perfect solution. Perfection doesn’t exist.

So, make a decision knowing it could be a wrong decision and move on. If it was a wrong decision you will know when you experience the outcome. At that time, you can make another decision and correct your previous one.

Don’t wait for complete information to make the decision. Decisions can also be changed. ;)
