Small batch and neat

Anu Atluru, New Media is Insider Media:

Everyone can publish, but most of it has no impact. Attention is scarce. High-value attention is scarcer.

It turns out a small audience of the right people beats a massive audience of the wrong ones.

An audience strategy that is really a batch size.

Jeff Gothelf and Josh Seiden, Sense and Respond:

The best way to deal with uncertainty is to adopt a continuous, small-batch approach that is oriented toward learning your way forward.

Bullets before cannonballs.

Marty Cagan, The Politics of Pilot Teams:

While you can continue building conventional (deterministic) products using the old, feature-team roles and methods, building intelligent (probabilistic) products requires a specific set of competencies and heavy use of live-data prototypes, continuous product discovery and product delivery.

Probabilistic products cannot be poured in one go.

The batch gets smaller. The proof gets higher.
