Do It Now, Carefully!

“Do It Now!” – saying is a very good tip for everybody, but it also has its problems. You can really perform well if you use it right. It is like using Scrum, if you don’t use it right, it will do more harm than good. The problem is that this doesn’t have rules like Scrum does. I’m going to go through some common problems related to this great tip.It is a good tip and easy to follow when you work by yourself, but inside a team you need to be really careful when you follow this tip. Some problems that it can cause :

• Lack Of Design
  • Don’t spent time on designing.
• Communication Problems
  • Easy to cut down all communications just by saying “Just do it!”.
• Missing Customer Needs
  • Because of no proper design, rushing “to do it”…

To avoid these problems you’ll need to start applying the “do it now” in right places, like after you have designed and agreed on tasks you should use it to boost your performance. Start watching how people act in your team, if they are doing this then they should be notified that they might be really creating some problems instead of just boosting their performance.

Small things like this matter.
