Bias to Action

Many larger organizations become increasingly slower, establish very careful decision making, trying to save money by avoiding every possible mistake. In reality not taking decisions and trying to find the perfect solution is way more expensive. We embrace a culture of Bias to Action. No solution is going to be perfect, mistakes happen, we learn, adapt and move forward.

YAGNI

You-Aint-Gonna-Need-It! This concept from Extreme Programming (XP) puts a mindset in the foreground, where you question whether you REALLY, REALLY need something, before you decide to build it. Oftentimes we try to anticipate what potential requirements might arise in the future. This comes with a very dangerous risk of building too complex systems too early. We are in favor of working based on what we now and actively try to not anticipate unreal problems.

Incremental Iterations

We believe in an agile methodology. You never know what the future holds and how requirements change over time. We don't want to answer these questions from the beginning, rather embrace change over time. Furthermore you should not be afraid of touching the same topic more than once. Slicing a large problems into smaller pieces and specifying multiple iterations, enables for better quality and saves time in the long run.
