Based on the large corporate wide project I’ve been working on lately I really wish everyone could avoid the “group think” and ask themselves Jason’s questions from this post. I just spent 45 minutes discussing whether or not there should be a “corporate governance” around using dashes (-) vs underscores (_) in course IDs within the new LMS.
- Why are we doing this?
- What problem are we solving?
- Is this actually useful?
- Are we adding value?
- Will this change behavior?
- Is there an easier way?
- What’s the opportunity cost?
- Is it really worth it?
