Ask Mathias: How can I increase velocity when I’m already at full speed?

My team and I are already going as fast as we can. I can’t see how we have the capacity to increase velocity. Can you help?

Hi Mathias,

I’m head of engineering at a small and fast-moving startup. We’ve recently had layoffs, and the team has shrunk significantly. We restarted our business with an entirely new product for which we keep churning out new features while we’re exploring product-market fit. My CEO and the leadership team keep pushing us to ship faster. We’re already doing everything we can to ship features in a way that ensures good quality and that our features are built to the spec.
