Product velocity: Improve latency without degrading bandwidth
We have great velocity, because we have great bandwidth, but our latency is bad. At the webapp team at Heroku, I could go from idea to production in 3 days, with the feature hitting viable
within 5 days, total, including metrics validation of the feature’s success. Related topics:

- Co-temporal teams (teams where all members are in compatible timezones)
- Data-blind => Data-aware => Data-driven (I’m fine not getting to data driven for a while because we still have a lot of our vision and strategy driven by instinct and experience, but we need to get data-aware ASAP to know if we’re succeeding, and to reinforce the mindset that success is the actual goal, not just shipping a feature)
