Comment on Great engineering teams focus on milestones instead of projects

Comments

Projects are things that are easy to put on my resume.

Milestones, unless they look "project like" are a harder (though not impossible) sell. They complicate the narrative.

When I'm moving on, the thing I want to be able to talk about is what I accomplished or helped accomplished that delivered value.

At the end of the day when you're being hired you're basically selling one of two possibilities: things will get done and you will profit, or I will keep things earning you profit.
