Justifying Feature Work with User Roles and Motivations
12/06/19 • 10 min
In today's episode of Developer Tea, we're talking about wasting time on features we hope are useful, but turn out not to be. We can't control for every single variable, so how can we better predict the usefulness of a feature before building it?
How do we justify the work that we do?
