I disagree @Vitor Pamplona . I think these descriptions are better suited to the products themselves, rather than the builders. People (and teams) succeed, fail, and pivot strategies all the time. I know I do. 1. Products that are shipped and used. 2. Products that are shipped and not used. 3. Products that are not shipped. The key is to always aim for 1, knowing that 2 and 3 are also possibilities at any time. As far as who “you don’t want” on your team … anybody who does NOT see 1, 2, or 3 as a possible outcome for a product at any time.
