In this episode, Ricardo discusses the concept of "Done is Better Than Perfect" in project management. He highlights that perfectionism often leads to high costs, delays, and marginal improvements, citing the law of diminishing returns. Emphasizing the importance of MVPs (Minimum Viable Products), Ricardo notes that releasing a functional product quickly allows for iterative improvements and avoids missed opportunities. He stresses the balance between quality and timeliness, explaining that executing promptly builds stakeholder trust and credibility. Ricardo advises prioritizing essential features, using time-boxing to manage effort within deadlines, and aligning deliverables with project goals to thrive in a volatile and competitive environment.
