72. When Important Decisions Become Ancient History

Retro Time // A Software Podcast

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
