I did not see Boyd’s Law of Iteration [0] "In analyzing complexity, fast iteration almost always produces better results than in-depth analysis." Boyd invented the OODA loop. | ||

That’s such a good one! I wish more people understood this. It seems management and business types always want some upfront plan. And I get it, to an extent. But we’ve learned this isn’t a very effective way to build software. You can’t think of all possible problems ahead of time, especially the first time around. Refactoring to solve problems with a flexible architecture it better than designing yourself into a rigid architecture that can’t adapt as you learn the problem space. | ||

I think taking Boyd's law to the extreme is how some folks end up with sprints lasting 1 week or less. | ||
