Rework
A collection of deliberately simple operating principles for building products with less ceremony, fewer assumptions and faster feedback.

Core ideas
What is worth remembering after you close the page
01
Start smaller
Constraints can force clarity and reduce the amount of work that must be coordinated.
02
Ship real things
Usage teaches more than internal debate about hypothetical reactions.
03
Meetings are expensive
Synchronous coordination should earn its cost rather than exist by default.
03
Turn it into action
Three things to test today
- 1
Cut one planned feature that is not necessary for the core outcome.
- 2
Replace one recurring meeting with an asynchronous update.
- 3
Ship one smaller version to real users sooner.
