Day 03 / 100 · Agile foundations · Empiricism

Decide on what you see.

Empiricism means making decisions from what's actually happening, not what the plan said would happen. It rests on three pillars.

Transparency

Make It Visible

“Show me what's stuck, not just what's done.”

Work, problems and progress where everyone can see them.

Inspection

Look Often

Daily, at every review, at every retro.

Check progress toward the goal while there's time to react.

Adaptation

Change Course

“We're off track. What do we change now?”

Adjust the plan, the work or the way you work.
