Related | Small Experiments Prevent Overbuilding → We minimize waste when we chunk functionality into small bits that we validate along the way. Small bits = more frequent feedback. Related | Validated Learning Reduces the Risk of Building the Wrong Thing → If we’re unable to validate our assumptions, we can pivot our efforts sooner to something more fruitful.
