Safetybelts not needed

We don’t need safetybelts in our cars.

It’s add costs and customers don’t ask for it. It’s a very rare to crash the car if you are an experienced driver. 

Do you think this sounds stupid?

If you resonate like some agile product teams, this is what you get as an answer for there software products.

Nobody asked for it. 

It’s an exception, we only do the happy flow in our MVP.

We can add it later.

Would you like to drive a car developed by a product team who took the same aporoach to car safety?

But safetybelts are mandatory in today’s car may be your objection to this.

Privacy by design is also mandatory for new development. Old software is like vintage cars without safety belts. Use on your own risk.

Who is responsible in your organisation to assure that you don’t miss critical requirements?
