Deep dives
The importance of making decisions even if they are not perfect
Making a bad decision is often better than making no decision at all, especially in engineering. It is important to remind oneself and the team that sometimes it is better to move forward with the best available option at the time rather than getting stuck in analysis paralysis. Setting a time limit for decision-making can help unblock projects and prevent frustrations. Additionally, encouraging a culture of making iterative progress and working on the overall shape of a project can lead to more successful outcomes.
