       | Kyle Evans with an excellent reminder that by default, our mind
       | is optimizing for delivery of projects (features). Products also
       | have unique traits that projects don't encapsulate well: SLA,
       | measurement of success, observability, roadmap, clear long-term
       | ownership, and more: "While project thinking focuses on coming up
       | with solutions up-front and then delivering against a schedule,
       | product thinking keeps the focus on the outcome. That involves
       | some level of comfort with uncertainty and learning, which can be
       | pretty hard. But if we want to get to the right outcome, and not
       | just an on-time output, it is really the only way to work."
