Principles of Setting up a Cadence

  1. Decision criteria: Make something that people(business) want to pay for.

  3. Important side quests are allowed, encouraged, and budgeted.
    1. Experimenting with different solutions to problem, quick wins
    2. Keeping up to date on industry trends/papers/news/people
