A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
The verbs associated with data have three distinct modalities:
Change—We need to change who we are or what we are doing.
Continue—We need to keep going in the same direction.
Finish—We need to complete this.
As you formulate your DataPOV, identify which verbs solve the problem or exploit the opportunity most effectively.
In my experience there are a few parts to the change. First we need to shift the definition of team success from pushing code to production (output) to achieving the team goals (outcomes). The constant drum beat of launching steps, and seeking user/business evidence helps drive the point home. Second, we want team members to have plenty of context: users and their needs, business rationale, competitive situation, and more. The context helps team members understand what makes sense and what doesn’t, and eliminates the need to spoon-feed them with bite-sized, detailed requirements.
