Ok, another one.
Better products have well defined constraints and few features.
What does that mean? It means that products that succeed in the market will not try to include every feature that can possibly be added, but its product managers carefully select a very small feature list, and then define a large set of acceptance tests (or constraints) around those features to ensure those features do what they say.
Not a comfortable idea, if you ask some of marketing folks. But, look in history. It works.
What do you say?
[Edit: I pondered a bit more on this topic, and wrote it here. It is not necessary to have less features, but it is important to add features as and when required. Product release criteria (constraints) remain as important as ever and should be thoroughly defined, no matter how many features a product has]
