I was talking to someone about bikeshedding earlier today and the general category of fully general participation, and it struck me that there are some fully general questions which are probably useful to have someone ask. Some examples:
-
-
Can we do this faster? Can we do this with less? Do we have to do this? Really? Where do we hit diminishing marginal returns? What’s a version of this we’d be proud of? How can we get a marketing / recruiting / PR / etc win out of this? What do we hope to learn here?

And it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add: Have we considered charging more?

Hi, woukd you explain what’s the difference between DRI and “Who owns this going forward”? Is that not the same person? Thanks.
-
Sure. DRI gets the project “done”, but many projects will be maintained for an arbitrary amount of time, and that generally implies they are owned by an organization / team not a person. Important to specify who, exactly.

Also add: Who are the DII by this? (Directly impacted individuals) Is this project actively ensuring it creates no harm for the DII? What are our policies for hiring the team to do this project? What is the environmental impact of this project? Who is responsible?

+1 on the DRI. Little wastes more time than a diffusion of responsibility. “Who owns X?” “Oh, the engineering team” … “Who here owns X?” “Oh, that’s Joe in marketing..” …LATER… “What? You should have asked me, not Joe. We can’t ship this. Redo it!”
