Great question! I guess we were optimistic and didn’t think about a rollback?
We work in 6-week cycles with flexible scope. This is stolen from Basecamp. I think we’ll have to wait and see if the experiment matches results longer term.
And yes, I’d say the co-founders enjoyed this freedom as much as (or more than?) our small team, so we’re all motivated to make it work!
While I’d be careful of an optimism bias, I think you’ll be ok if you’ve done well hiring the right kind of people. I hope it works out well so it can encourage others to do similar
