Eamon Scullion at StaffPlus London 2023
summary
Argues that a concise technical vision becomes a North Star: tie every ticket to business outcomes and use a shared single backlog so engineering and product stop fighting over priorities. Recommends concrete steps — assess current architecture, define a Target state, list incremental next best steps, run experiments and measure learning — and warns against ad hoc fixes like perpetual bug-bash Fridays. Emphasizes guardrails plus cross-team trust as the mechanism that makes it work.
