Ask yourself if the effort is applicable
Is it worth it to build the Cobblestone Road now? !
Shall we rather build a Highway Version of a heavy used feature? !
Do we need an Asphalted Road of this code part? !
Does the customer gain benefit if we ship just the Dirt Road now?

Mindset to ship continuously
