Thoughts on design, teams, and making things.

• The Day 21 warning sign. Most enterprise design leaders only find out a 12-week project is in trouble at the retrospective, when it is too late to fix.
• The Enterprise Design Telemetry Crisis. 80% of enterprise design leaders now formally justify budget or headcount at least quarterly — and most cannot get the data.
• We don’t have to be boring. The handcuffs are off. Unique builds are back on the menu.
• The O shaped designer. Small teams of O-shaped experts can now do what used to need a room of twenty.
