What Can We Do About It?

Simplify before automating

What we say

Reality

Every step between your product and your customer separates

learning. Drive outcomes (product), reduce output

(environments)

Testable over testing

Testability is a deep debt

Demoability

Test Isolation

Doubt

We need to ask better questions – not just the acceptance criteria but how

will we test this?

grow deeper

Product Context

Building Common Language

All Product Ideas

Product Choices

Collaborative Chartering

Pragmatic Personas

Story Maps

User Interviews

Market Research

Slices

Make Intentional Decisions

To Avoid

Accidental Discoveries & Misunderstanding

own your World

Be clear on values / direction

Let people doing the work solve the problems

Provide them data

Don't Promote (and maintain) Through Environments

Pull Through Examples, Tests, and Learning

There Isn't One Solution To Rule Them All

Design

Deliver

Learn

Experiment & LearnAre previous assumptions still valid?
