Open Stack

I think we produce guidance on how to make stuff better or influence how
stuff is improved.

Ultimately what matters most is customer satisfaction. We can't frame that
purely in terms of feature delivery rates although getting the right
features to the customer is very important. Features have to be delivered
to a prioritised schedule, but also they have to work as advertised, they
can't break other stuff and they have to be deployable.

Probably more stuff too, so feel free to add to the list, but try to remain
at a high level otherwise we'll get lost in the solution before we've
finished requirements.
