Received my first ever “ducking via mail.” These two guys showed up in a mail pouch with the return address of #duckduckjeep in Michigan.

I had to take a pic with them on my snowy NH Jeep immediately.

Thank you secret MI Jeeper!

Two roads diverged in the woods and I - I took the road less travelled by.

[Nicole Wakelin @NicoleWakelin]

After one year of @Jeep Wrangler 4xe ownership, we were finally ducked at breakfast. Best day ever for @RussWakelin and his little Jeep! #duckduckjeep #duckingjeeps

I love this analogy. Applies to #productmanagement roadmaps too once you get beyond a certain time horizon.

[Eize Basa @PonchoRebound]

I’ve never written Fantasy but I *have* created plenty of project management timelines, same difference.

As a #productmanager I feel the need to challenge the assumption on why the original campaign failed. It COULD be that fractions are counter intuitive but:

- Was it more expensive?
- Was the quality better?
- Does a larger portion = more sales?

In the 80’s, A&W launched a 1/3 lb burger to compete with the McDonalds quarter-pounder. But it flopped because people are bad at fractions and thought 1/4 was bigger than 1/3. (Cause 4 > 3, of course)

They’ve now resurrected it as the ‘3/9 burger’.

@lennysan “This idea does sound impactful. Let’s take a look at our current priorities and see what it should replace.”

(Always have your current priorities & top backlog items too if mind for these conversations)

[Russ Wakelin @RussWakelin]

@tabletopteek @bopinion Yes! Great call back. I think I predicted this for 2019 so I was a few years off but better late than never.
