«Anything that can go wrong will go wrong». That’s Murphy’s Law. It is also a sentiment that every Product person is too familiar with. And let’s face it, how many times have the best intentions and descriptions from the Product department been carried out with diligence by the developers? And that is not surprising, because each role has its own context, and they see a different piece of the picture. But, how can we improve it?

I have published numerous articles proposing solutions to this problem. Yet most of them depend on techniques that need practice, and fast feedback in order to learn. And precisely that, fast iteration, is often the key point in all my recommendations. However, that is difficult to follow. Most likely, the greatest problem is that we need the whole team to learn and improve. From one point of view, it is good because it is the whole team that improves together becoming a better amalgam, but on the other hand, that is hard, costly, and inevitably slow. At least it’s slow, compared to what I present here.

You should iterate fast in your learning practice, but how to achieve that?
