Evo should allow us to prove out new work processes, and get rid of bad ones early |
Discussion:
Evo has one advantage for people who are sceptical towards it as a new development process. It either works immediately or you can remain sceptical! But Evo can prove out old processes that might not fit well with Evo (like full regression testing at each step). Evo can try out new processes, and help you tune them to work correctly, while you are still at early stages of your project (such as Inspection in a sampling mode).
| Example: |
| 'But the IE3 team was still making decisions about the overall product architecture - decisions that would not only affect the features in the final product but also the development process itself.' |
