objective
The goal is to understand the benefits of and install a framework for
high-velocity decision-making.

background
“...this is Day 1 for the internet.”

alternative OS’s

verdict: day 2
• 1/3 of products are delivered late or incomplete due to slow decision-making
• Speed of decision-making is primary challenge with regard to communication
• For every 60 minutes a product team works, they spend 48 minutes waiting on decisions to be made.

org: balancing OS’s
Day 1 and Day 2 actually aren’t mutually exclusive operating systems.
“Pockets of Day 1” within a Day 2 framework.
Day 1:• Permission to experiment• Innovation labs
Day 2:• Hiring• Existing products
10
org: fear tactics
Don’t be afraid to confront the status quo if that’s the only way to make an impact.
• Know the stats (Fortune 500 turnover)• Know the stories (“Kodak Moment”)• Know the enemy (Upstarts)• Know the solution (How to get one step ahead)
You’re hemorrhaging pizza.
11
team: risk matrix
Have an explicit conversation about the costs and benefits of speed.
Don’t treat reversible decisions like they’re irreversible.
Costs:• Quantify the
ramifications of being wrong
• Quantify the ramifications of being slow
Benefits:• Articulate the benefits of
speed and iteration• Confront the ‘back-
channeling naysayers’ Source: First Round Review

team: consistent vision
Offering a shared vision aligns team members and eliminates hesitation.
Knowing why can inform what, when, and where.

you: data availability
Reactive experimentation slows down decision-making. Generate data proactively.
% of PMs that experiment on an ad hoc basis(per our survey of 140 PMs)
14
you: pace yourself
Change happens slowly and unnoticeably so don’t burn the candle from both ends.
It’s a marathon – not a sprint.
15
applications
Leverage high-velocity decision-making in high-impact low-risk areas.
Selecting which API service to use
Splitting responsibilities amongst team members
Increasing release frequency
Create sales decks before building a new product
