How I take a web product to production
1 min
Frame, build, launch. No borrowed numbers and no separate department for every screen.
The frame first
I start from what counts as launch. For a site, launch is an enquiry that arrives. For a cabinet, it is a status that does not live in a thread.
Until that frame is written down, I do not draw extra screens.
Then something that runs
I show what already opens in a browser. A deck does not replace a form or a queue.
Launch is an address
A product is launched when it has an address, a path, and a person who knows where the enquiry lands.
