@AvidAgile@eikonne This is only true if you're ranking a set of immutable options. Absolute estimates allow you to fully exploit the Pareto law (some options are orders of magnitude more valuable than others), helping with slicing, ideating on solution approaches, removing low value "noise", etc
Crew Dragon has separated from Falcon 9’s second stage and is on its way to the International Space Station with @Astro_Behnken and @AstroDoug! Autonomous docking at the @Space_Station will occur at ~10:30 a.m. EDT tomorrow, May 31
@eikonne Sounds like the main idea in "The Use of Knowledge in Society" by Hayek, although he was talking about the whole economy, not just a single org
@karlpetermichl@ntcoding Agreed - at one of my clients we plotted teams against three axes - X (horizontal, component/tech/system/solution knowledge), Y (vertical, end-to-end product or service endpoints), Z (horizontal, end-to-end user/customer journeys). There is no perfect answer, only trade-offs.

If you absolutely must block something, don't block deploys. Block merges. Make developers wait to merge their code til you are ready to deploy again.
(But consider using feature flags instead. Hey, that's another good holiday plan -- add feature flags, if you don't have em!)
@trptcolin I think it's fair to say that while not anti-waterfall, he applies a reasonable amount of nuance - in particular, adding elements of experimentation and iteration. "I believe in this concept, but the [entirely linear] implementation described above is risky and invites failure."
