Release plans are for big inefficient companies, but startups have way too much volatility for this to be useful.<\/p>\n<h2>2) Don&#8217;t do Big Bang deployments<\/h2>\n<p>If you are deploying a bunch of new features, bug fixes, pricing changes, marketing changes, or more, all together, how do you know what caused the problem if customer conversion rates go down? \u00a0You need to do lots of specific and small releases so you can correlate them to user behavior and know exactly what they like and don&#8217;t like.<\/p>\n<h2>3) Logins and Admins are low priority<\/h2>\n<p>Too many teams first focus on the user administration parts of a project, but this is the least valuable thing you could start a project with. \u00a0Find some more valuable feature that you can run an experiment on first with your customers.<\/p>\n<h2>4) Delay Load Testing<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t spend a lot of time load testing features that you don&#8217;t even know yet if customers will like. \u00a0You are unlikely to have a big rush of new customers on day one.<\/p>\n<h2>5) Kill the Betas<\/h2>\n<p>Stop using the term beta, and thinking in terms of betas. \u00a0Treat every day like it&#8217;s a beta of some small feature you are working on. \u00a0Betas just encourage risky big bang releases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So stop trying to do so much at once, release more often, and just deploy it!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ignite talks at the Lean Startup Conference in San Francisco in December were a lot of fun, both as an attendee and as a speaker. \u00a0Below is the video of my talk on \u00abJust Deploy It!\u00bb. http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SEsk8Nfwfck In my talk, I focused on 5 anti-patterns that I see regularly in companies who are not [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[88,59,16],"tags":[19,32,66,25,89,15,87,22,60],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Video of &quot;Just Deploy It!&quot;
