- All product development is fractally iterative.
- This is true whether you want it to be or not.
- Success comes from generating revenue.
- Revenue cannot be sustainably generated without shipping a product.
- No one has ever shipped a perfect product.
- You won't be the first.

Will part 2 address how to accept imperfection in our products as well as ourselves ?
I am not sure I get #1.
I know what the terms mean, and have a feeling for how they apply to product development, but would like to hear your thoughts on the implication.
Ken Howard
I mean that development is iterative at all levels: requirements, architecture, design, implementation, etc. And once you step into one of those areas, say implementation, it's still iterative at multiple levels: module, class, function, right down to individual statements, as you refactor. It's more or less all in a constant state of flux. In fact, the original motivation for Agile development as a recognition of this fact, and it's purpose was to create a process that makes change as inexpensive and least impactful as possible, since it's inevitable.
Great.... Thanks
