Deliberate Discovery
and the myth of Certainty
Cara Turner South AfricaAgile Coach | User Group Chairman | Rigorous Tinkerer
“Once upon a time…
There was a software development project in which
everything that would happen was Known and Certain.
And so the project began.
And it happened that the world stood still while the
application was being built, so that it was delivered exactly
as it had been envisaged, and was perfect.
And everyone rejoiced for they were able to work more
efficiently than ever before.
(But exactly as had been known they would, with no other impact on
the world around them.) ”

“We are uncovering…
better ways of developing software
by doing it and helping others do it.”

Real Options
What do we need to know?
which problem we’re tackling
how we’ll make decisions
what’s uncertain
what we can know
