Overview
Experimentation reduces uncertainty by turning assumptions into evidence before the team commits heavily to a solution.
Core Concepts
- Start with the riskiest or most valuable assumption and identify the fastest credible way to test it.
- A prototype, spike, proof of concept, or thin usable increment can create learning earlier than a large design phase.
- The purpose of an experiment is validated learning, not merely producing more output.
Exam Tips
- When uncertainty is high, ask: 'What is the cheapest safe way to learn next?'
- Prefer observable evidence over seniority, opinion, or exhaustive prediction.
