37signals preaches “Less for success”

May 4th, 2006

37signals Preaches “Less” For Success at Frank Gruber’s blog relays the key theme from 37signals’s talk at DePaul University – Less is more:

  1. Do it with less people and less time. Comment: I work in consulting and I’ve seen what teams of 3-4 smart people can accomplish in 3 months that teams of 50 wouldn’t dream of finishing in five years.
  2. Ship with less features and abstractions. Comment: This will work when feature grids disappear and reviews will start rating simplicity higher than feature list.
  3. Use less money, use your own money (harder to spend). Comment: Great advice, but it assumes (mostly correctly) more money = more spending. However sometimes more capital is a good thing.
