In this episode, Daniel discusses the overuse of the word "team" and the importance of true teams in product development. He highlights the need for preconditions for a team, and notes that sometimes teams don't even have a shared goal. Daniel also warns against the "it's done, just needs to be tested" anti-pattern and explains how it can lead to problems with team collaboration. We discuss the use of Causal Loop Diagram to find hypotheses, and mention a talk by Jeff Patton on the client-vendor anti-pattern. Finally, Daniel emphasizes the need to remove the notion that one party needs to own the game in the client-vendor relationship.
In this segment, Daniel Westermayr discusses the importance of data-driven decision making in product development. He references the book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, which highlights the biases and faulty intuitions that can arise in decision making. Daniel emphasizes the need to use data to inform decisions and cites the book "Out of the Crisis" by W. Edwards Deming as an important resource. He also provides a link to a talk by Russell Ackoff about Deming's approach.
