> At the start of the second round of the rehearsal, participants are given feedback based on various performance metrics from the activities of the previous day. Detailed data are provided that show the ideal versus the actual performance. The participants discuss among themselves three issues: (1) what went wrong, (2) what we will do differently this time, and (3) how will we know it is working.
This strikes me as the exact heart of agile methodology in practice. The best retrospectives, for projects, for incidents, for goals, etc all revolve around these three questions. Being truly able to openly question and challenge your own behavior as a team of peers helps you grow and adapt.
It’s just so damned hard to create or sustain the conditions to generate that kind of trust and autonomy.
- izzygonzalez 5y agoI ask myself those three questions after practicing. In the literature of other domains, like education and nursing, it's called reflection. There's a lot to parse in the linked article, but I bet this is one of the most important points. It reminds me of the philosophy of radical constructivism, which asserts that knowledge is inherently linked to the experiencer. This is in contrast to weak constructivist narratives which seem more common: "you filter the world through your own lens." Well, what if our lens is really all we have?
