Measuring velocity of designers is absolute bullsh*" says @sravienna, CDO at @metalab Speed isn't about cutting corners. It's about building trust. The faster you demonstrate momentum, the more goodwill you earn. And that goodwill buys you the space for quality work. Her team uses "Tarantinos": Play out the end of the movie fast, throw everything at the wall, kill your darlings. 80% won't work. But you need space to find the 20% that becomes magic.
