Working Efficiently

After the first week, it became clear that our scope was growing out of control.

I suggested scaling down and reminding ourselves to keep things simple. At the same time, our focus on planning often overshadowed playtesting, making it harder to validate ideas.

I pushed for more frequent testing to ensure our features were on the right track.

An Equation for Efficiency

• 📉 Scope control - Encouraged scaling down to stay manageable.
• 🎯 Simplicity first - Reminded the team to keep things straightforward.
• 🛠️ Prioritizing testing - Advocated for regular playtests over excessive planning.

Our project owner created our new beautifully combined framework from this:

Keep It Simple Stupid + Test-Driven Development = Keep It Simple And Test Stupid
