"Let's focus on the low-hanging fruit" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"Let's focus on the low-hanging fruit"

What they really mean

The hard stuff scares me so let's do the easy things and call it progress

"Before we tackle the big strategy shifts, let's focus on the low-hanging fruit and get some quick wins."

"Let's change the button color and update the footer so I can tell my boss we shipped something."

I'm hoping you forget about this entirely

I don't want to do this and I'm not going to

Nobody agrees on anything and we've been arguing for months
