Want to Read $ 11.49"Businesses frequently prioritize new feature releases over fixing technical debt. They choose to work on revenue-generating work instead of revenue-protection work. This rarely works out as the business hopes, particularly as problems discovered during the final stages of uncompleted projects drag engineers away from the newer projects."-Dominica Degrandis, Making Work Visible: Exposing Time Theft to Optimize Work & Flow
"Work takes a long time to complete because it sits in queues waiting for stuff to happen. It's not unusual for wait times to be more than 80% of the total time. Many organizations are blind to the queue problem. They tend to focus on resource efficiency instead of applying systems thinking to improve the efficiency of the whole system, end to end."-Dominica Degrandis, Making Work Visible: Exposing Time Theft to Optimize Work & Flow
