    I’ve met this bird. It only prioritizes issues as urgent; when interacted with, it’ll say “yes, this is part of MVP”

      I’ll kill you , you stupid bird!

      If everything is high priority, nothing is high priority!

        I had a list of 30 items I had to prioritize with clients the other day. We ended up with about two dozen Priority 1s and the rest were 2s.

        So I had to go back and say, “let’s prioritize the 1s” and at least got them to agree to 1.A, 1.B, and 1.C.

          This is why I really don’t think absolute priority values work. I much prefer relative priority, i.e. dragging cards into an order.

          Of course, the challenge with that is in clarifying that it’s not a strict order in which tasks will be tackled.

      Could be worse, mine have started saying “the MVP must be feature complete and 100% bug free” but there’s a 0% chance there’s enough budget for that.

          The one in the manager’s mind, that also isn’t actually an MVP because sales over-promised and now you have to find a way to deliver.

            Ahh, sales…

            The best sales folks are the ones who promise customers things that are literally impossible (and I do mean literally, eg. promising something that essentially solves the halting problem). Those are always fun to sort out

          I can deliver completely bugless. The secret is code that doesn’t do anything, acts the same as code that doesn’t exist.
