“Hewho fails to
plan isplanning to
fail”. I think it is fair to say that
whenyoubeginbuildingyour
layout or amodel, youdon't
want to fail.
Youwant successandquick
success isevenbetter. In fact,
muchofour limitedhobbytime
isspentplanningandbuilding
with thegoalof
avoiding failure.
Inall humanendeavors, especially if youarebuilding some-
thingnew, some failure is inevitable. Howabout adopting the
ideaof failing faster,wasting fewer resources in the learning
process, andgetting towhatwillworkquicker?
This canbe seenas taking the chainsaw layout concept a step
further
down to
individualmodelingprojects.
For example, haveyouever consideredbuildinga testmodel
just to seewhat doesn'twork?No, I don'tmeanbuilda fully
detailedmodel to thenthdegree, but rather a so-called “mini-
mally viable”model, sort of a chainsawmodel, if youwill.
Entrepreneursoftenhavean idea for aproduct or service that
theybelieveotherswillwant. They spendtimedeveloping
their ideaandfinallyput it out on themarket.
