Work types
Five labels that make tradeoffs easier.
Work Type Focus keeps the language practical: what created value, what reduced risk, what interrupted the plan, and what needs a decision.
Unstructured Innovation / Experimentation
Discovery work where the business is buying evidence before committing.
Add New Capabilities
New customer or market value that extends the product.
Enhance Existing Capabilities
Improving what customers already use so the product performs better.
Manage Complexity
Risk reduction, maintainability, simplification, technical debt, and future optionality.
Unplanned Work / Interruptions
Demand that bypasses the plan and exposes operational pressure.
The 1-10-100 rule for delivery focus
Small signals are cheaper than late surprises. When complexity and interruptions are visible early, product and engineering can decide what to protect, simplify, or defer.
Make complexity visible while it is still a management choice, not after it becomes a customer, reliability, or roadmap problem.
Well-being and AI focus
AI increases output. Focus decides whether that output compounds.
Code generation makes it easier to ship more change. Humans still need to decide which complexity is worth carrying, which interruptions are burning the plan, and where attention should go next.
