• Continuous Integration means continuously breaking things

Page 8: 9 Principles for Navigating Change

Risk over Safety• Fast moving disruption

• New technology demands adaptation

Page 9: 9 Principles for Navigating Change

Systems instead of Objects• Systems are too complex to break down

• Series of feedback loops

Page 10: 9 Principles for Navigating Change

Systems instead of Objects• Safety is a characteristic of systems and not of their components

Page 11: 9 Principles for Navigating Change

Compasses not Maps• Maps are static snapshots

• Results without understanding are useless

Page 12: 9 Principles for Navigating Change

Compasses not Maps• Navigation and values allow course corrections

• OODA loop

Page 13: 9 Principles for Navigating Change

Practice instead of Theory• Science > feelings

• Prototypes and feedback beats plans

• “Let's work the problem people. Let's not make things worse by guessing.“
