How Ramp builds product
Lenny Rachitsky · Lenny's Newsletter Freemium Intermediate
A detailed look at a team obsessed with velocity: almost no estimating, minimal planning ceremony, and a bias toward shipping as early as possible. It is a real, named example of how a fast growing company keeps rituals light so they speed up decisions rather than becoming the work. Read it to see how far the lean toward doing over planning can go, and decide how much of it fits you.
- Ramp treats planning time as time not spent shipping, and minimizes it.
- Skipping heavy estimation can raise velocity when scope stays small.
- Culture and rituals are designed around one goal: keep shipping.
