Build a business-tailored language or vocabulary.
By building a more precise vocabulary between stakeholders and the delivery team, the team can shift their focus from the "how" to the "why," leading to the emergence of design through a feedback loop.
When assigning tasks, stakeholders should consider two vital factors: Is it critical to the mission? Will it provide us with a competitive edge in the market? While creating user stories, the focus should be on the value statement rather than the deliverables. Listening to people's needs and considering their requirements when gathering information is essential. Taking the time to provide thorough solutions is crucial.
The goal is to use the same concepts when discussing the system's development with stakeholders.
Reducing the amount of unnecessary concepts in the shared vocabulary can decrease ambiguity.
Product managers should use small user stories to confirm what needs to be done to ensure a successful outcome.
Short user stories enable breaking down the problem into smaller, measurable parts. A standard description for stories is that they are small work that can be implemented within an iteration while adding value.
Ultimately, software design should reflect automated human interactions with a system.
