While we’re not here to debate the existence of free will, we’ve all looked back on situations where it seemed like our brains went into autopilot. These unconscious biases can influence who we hire (and listen to), the decisions we make, and what we prioritize in our daily lives — and not always for the better. One survey found that nearly 40% of people frequently experience bias that leads to unfair treatment based on factors such as their age, gender, or race.

Working Software. Done Increments. Two related concepts in the agile world that people trying to leverage Agile/Scrum’s empiricism outside of the software/technology space struggle with. The intent behind these practices is to achieve transparency to validate/invalidate assumptions—you might call it managing based on evidence. The key idea is to get transparency as early and often as possible to minimize the risk of continuing down the wrong path.
