The approach advocates creating small

evolve the product, thereby reducing waste.

Lean Startups?
• Most of your decisions as a team, as
a company, will be wrong.

- 40. Pandora-Style Planning
• Whole company (up to 6 ppl), every 60 or 90 days.
• Ahead of the meeting, everyone submits requests to the CEO/
CTO, with the prompt “We would be stupid not to…”
• Submit each idea as a slide, with a headline and a few bullet
points to explain.
• 70-100 items. CEO/CTO de-duplicates and assigns a $-value that
represents the amount of effort
• “Dollars” are created in an amount that represents current
capaticy, divided equally among the 6 participants.
• Day-long working session to “shop” for the most important items.
• Chuck the unfunded. Group the fully funded, nearly funded,
radically under-funded.
• Discuss and bargain until you have a set of fully funded items.

- 44. The Influence of Agile
“The courage to speak truths,
pleasant or unpleasant, fosters
communication and trust.
“The courage to discard failing
solutions and seek new ones
encourages simplicity.
“The courage to seek real,
concrete answers creates
feedback.”

team right, you’ll
find your way to
