When starting a new task, find the simplest way to prove the concept.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Investigate upfront and evaluate potential approaches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What's the smallest or quickest thing you could do to validate an idea?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It could be a small script that you can run and verify something works before moving it to its correct place within your application or creating a first implementation with hard-coded data that you refactor once you've proven the concept.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you can't, you'll know it won't work without investing a large amount of time and you can move on to the next potential approach.
