Write the plan. See it. Follow it. Switch context. Finish side projects.
DOCTRINE
1. Don't think Thinking is hesitation. Hesitation is procrastination. MANDATE brings you into the zone. Pull the lever and it tells you what to do.
2. Rigid by design MANDATE is built to manage your projects, for you only. It is not a communication tool. Priority levels and workflow are fixed. You do not have to set it up like Jira. It works out of the box.
3. Arcs 90% done is not done.
4. Progress visible by the number of done items No burndown charts. No story points. Visual indicators of how much was done and what tickets are left.
5. Bug extermination Bug fixes are not progress. You do not celebrate the killing of a cockroach. Deal with bugs as soon as possible. Tolerating bugs is how you get infestations. They are recorded quickly and wiped from mind quickly.
