Decide knowingly
Feedback-Driven is the method for making software engineering decisions. It can be used for steering agile architecture, for guiding migrations, or for splitting monolithic applications.
Everyone makes decisions
The goal of Feedback is decision making. Managers decide the strategy. Architects decide the technical direction. Developers decide the implementation. Daily.
Decisions require accurate information
Details are essential
Feedback is a human activity
Analysis tools are important to handle the scale of problems, but in the end, assessment is a Feedback-Driven activity. Regardless of how smart the tools are, it is still the Feedback that has to infer the relevant information and transform it into action.
Approach problems individually
Why a method?
Decisions are made everyday. It’s just that the effort is implicit and unoptimised. Feedback must become explicit and made integral part of the overall process. You need to approach it systematically. You need a method.
