Large entertainment companies often get stuck on huge projects. A multi-year platform rollout can feel too big to start. The scale is paralyzing.
Azim Premji built Wipro into a global leader by sticking to one thing: clear ethics. He treated principles as a filter for decisions, not just rules. This simplified choices and built trust during rapid change. (1/4)
You can use this idea to break down epic projects. Here’s how to apply it using Feature-Driven Development (FDD) for a B2B2C streaming platform.
Start by defining your non-negotiable principle. For example, “We will never use partner data without explicit consent.” This isn’t a feature. It’s your compass.
Next, list all possible features and run each through your filter. If a feature doesn’t align, drop it. This narrows your scope to what truly matters. (2/4)
Then form small teams around each remaining feature. For 40 people, try eight teams of five. Each team owns one feature, like single sign-on or white-label apps.
Plan in two-week sprints per feature. Teams move fast because the principle is already baked in. They don’t need constant oversight.
Integrate and demo every two weeks. Show progress to stakeholders and partners. This keeps the work aligned and builds trust early. (3/4)
A clear principle cuts through complexity. It lets large teams act small and move with confidence.
Try this on your next big project. See how a simple filter changes what you build.
