Top Founders · Product vs. Engineering: The surprising way to create alignment in 2023 · 11 Jul 2023 podcast

So I would say that the most helpful part was me coming in and becoming more involved and understanding earlier on with product team that, hey, if you add this portion, if you want to add this feature, then it's going to extend it by four weeks.

But if you don't want to add it, then we can get it launched in the next six to eight weeks.

You always have to keep a buffer in deadlines.

And the reality is, is that

Development is proportionate to how many hours engineering team is putting on, right?

But it's not sustainable for them to work 24 hours around the clock.

But it has been the case for us where when things are getting really tight to the deadline, you just have to ask the engineering team, can you stay on for the extra few hours?

Can you keep coding to get the features out?

And that's how we've been able to meet some of the deadlines.

So, but the best part is, is like really early on when you're doing the designs and you're about to hand it off to engineering, get like a good sense of what that deadline would be and then let the engineering team work with you to alter the designs if it's not fitting within the right deadline.

Does that answer your question?

Thank you.
