Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. This advice has come up a few times in projects, lately. Whether on the hunt for the ideal LMS system or seeking the perfect wording for a survey question, achieving “done” will steadily become more important.
From Seth Godin’s blog this week:
All boats leak There’s always a defect, always a slow drip, somewhere. Every plan, every organization, every venture has a glitch.
The question isn’t, “is this perfect?” The question is, “will this get me there?”
Sometimes we make the mistake of ignoring the big leaks, the ones that threaten our journey.
More often, though, we’re so busy fixing tiny leaks that we get distracted from the real goal, which is to go somewhere.
