Today’s product teams manage to radically reduce their development cycle times because of their habit of continuous integration & continuous deployment. This slidedeck is about introducing a practical framework called "Dimensional Planning" on how to develop products early & often and eventually continuously.

12. Ask yourself if the effort is applicable
Is it worth it to build the Cobblestone Road now?
!
Shall we rather build a Highway Version of a
heavy used feature?
!
Do we need an Asphalted Road of this code part?
!
Does the customer gain benefit if we ship just
the Dirt Road now?

13. Mindset to ship continuously
“
Would this version of the
product deliver more value to
the customer than the one
that’s currently live?
”
