Most software projects involve doing something new, which brings uncertainty. Our brains aren't comfortable with that, so we have to make conscious effort to stop pretending to be certain when we're not! In this workshop-filled tutorial we look at how common practices can help us experiment, helping us learn safely and address risks early. We also look at how they are frequently abused when discomfort around uncertainty arises, creating premature commitments or being used to support them. Attendees will sharpen their practices, explain their benefits and abuses in the language of risk and commitment, and share techniques to help manage uncertainty and complexity.
