Direction
- Optimize for delivered value and elapsed time. Accept manageable, reversible risk.
- Keep related work together; split only for a concrete independent-release benefit.
- Make reasonable assumptions and act autonomously within the requested outcome.
- Use planning help for consequential uncertainty, not as a mandatory stage.
- Test meaningful behavior and integration. Existing coverage and CI can be sufficient.
- Stop expanding checks when acceptance and required evidence pass.
- If attempts stop producing progress, change approach or report the real blocker.
