Fight the Feature Creep

Music: "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth. Performed by The Linebreakers Heather Downing: vocals Hannes Lowette: guitar Mark Rendle: bass Vagif Abilov: keys Dylan Beattie: everything else Camera: Magnus Kristiansen Special thanks to @NDC Conferences Lyrics: There's a requirement, on top of my stack, Seeking enlightenment, I message you on Slack, I don't see why we're waiting to go live Our funding ran out months ago, we're struggling to survive Nobody needs all this shit you're specifying Developers are burning out, the CFO is crying All these requirements, sat here on my stack, No way we'll ship them all while we're still in the black The project backlog’s a hundred miles long, You keep on saying, we’ve gotta have it all, The project backlog’s a hundred miles long, I can’t help thinking… We ought to cut ‘em all (haven't got a clue, what is MVP) Fight the feature creep, (like a waterfall, features gonna creep) Right from the start we tried, had a plan (haven't got a clue, what is MVP) But you say it’s incomplete (like a waterfall, features gonna creep) Maybe I don't know what we should have done, But our nearest competitor just shipped their version 1, It doesn't run on blockchain, scan Facebook for your friends They hit a million signups in their opening weekend, The project backlog’s a hundred miles long, (haven't got a clue, what is MVP) You keep on saying, we’ve gotta have it all, (like a waterfall, features gonna creep) The project backlog’s a hundred miles long, (haven't got a clue, what is MVP) I can’t help thinking... (like a waterfall, features gonna creep) We ought to cut ’em all (haven't got a clue, what is MVP) Fight the feature creep, (like a waterfall, features gonna creep) Right from the start we tried, had a plan (haven't got a clue, what is MVP) But you say it’s incomplete (like a waterfall, features gonna creep) We ought to cut ’em all Fight the feature creep, Right from the start we tried, had a plan But you say it’s incomplete Cut your road map, cut it to the bone Nobody cares if we run on Windows Phone Nobody’s buying, the vision that you sold, Maybe time to pick up the agile manifesto
