72. When Important Decisions Become Ancient History

from Retro Time // A Software Podcast Hosted by Derek Seibert & Jeremy Miller

Making decisions is hard. What’s harder is documenting those decisions. What’s often impossible is trying to figure out why a decision was made years before you joined the team. And all too often that decision lingers for a very, very, very long time. This week Derek and Jeremy discuss decisions, their long-term impact, and what happens when those decisions turn into ancient history that predates your modern era. Topics: • 10:25 – The Great Stink • 12:59 – Let the PSR commence • 14:06 – Teams often value speed over quality • 20:30 – Create a stakeholder map • 24:29 – Teams often have problems with decision making • 24:52 – Org charts don’t always tell the whole story • 28:13 – Visions can be great, but there’s a catch • 33:17 – You don’t have to be that wrong to still be wrong —– Thanks for listening!
