Short and insightful post by Evan Meagher. Knowing how to build momentum is a skill worth mastering. Easier to start with smaller projects and fewer people (but not easy, e.g. writing a blog post) and much harder to do when you need to lead multiple people. "A good way to generate early momentum in a project is to prioritize quick wins and explorations that tighten the feedback loop" -- the latter is a great framing when picking the work to start with. What can be done to understand the problem better and reduce the project's risk?
