A reliable way to work

Set one question before the test. Decide what result should count.

Name one owner. Record the current state.

Change one point only. Then check the result.

If money, customers or public claims are involved, add a human review.

Check the result again later. Keep only what helps the goal.

Check the starting point

  • Keep one owner for the follow-up.
  • Write down the reason for the decision.
  • Check the result again later.
  • Write the goal in one sentence.
