Manifesto for One Feature Per Day.




👉 Deliver one feature per day.

Now, let me step back and explain that.

I am a business consultant, software architect, and technologist.
I lead teams that deliver complex projects while contending with competing personalities, priorities, and PTO.

For my own sanity, I started to build my own features. Those I could deliver--and start using--quickly.

Doing this, I came up with:

1️⃣📆 Deliver one feature per day.
🧩👍 Solve my own problems.
🔧✈️ Build the plane (& plan) as I fly it.
▶📖 Action > Documentation.
🖊️💻 Whiteboard > Code.
🔄📚 Use version control.
⚒️🏃 Hack. Use it.

In this way, I started shipping useful, bite-sized features.
And since this emphasizes the importance of using stuff,
not just building stuff,
I built less useless stuff.

This is not for everyone. It is for builders.
