Title: The Art of Selection: Why Prioritization Outpacing Speed
In the high-pressure world of software development and project management, we are often pushed to move “faster”. Timely reporting and swift processing are, of course, essential skills. However, I’ve realized that speed without direction is just a faster way to get to the wrong place.
