Food for Agile Thought #209
Food for Agile Thought’s issue #209 delves into Design Thinking habits; we consider how to turn dark ‘agile’ into a value-driven approach again, and we go back once again to antipatterns of organizational agility.
We also address validating hypotheses beyond an ordinary A/B-test; we learn how to orchestrate continuous experimentation for fun and profit, and we applaud Jeff Gothelf for sharing the second version of the Lean UX canvas with the community.
Lastly, we put ‘bugs’ into an agile context, starting with a moth in 1946.
