When launching a new product or version, it's important to balance speed, cost, and quality. Start with a strong and flexible foundation, understanding the unique requirements of your product. Turn the dials appropriately by finding the right balance between formal processes and speed. Be efficient with capital by starting with manual processes and introducing automation when necessary. Don't forget about in-process quality checks, but be intentional about when and where to implement them.

Takeaways:

• Start with a strong and flexible foundation for production
• Understand the unique requirements of your product
• Find the right balance between formal processes and speed
• Be efficient with capital by starting with manual processes
