"If you can’t have those conversations, stop. You can’t do BDD. You might be able to write some scenarios or some acceptance tests, but they’re likely to be brittle and it’s unlikely that anyone will be interested. Here’s why." https://t.co/KftrDSI3gl

Output vs Outcome Output is what happens between the idea and delivery. It's what we build. Output isn't the point, an outcome is. Outcome can be measured by looking at what people do differently to reach their goals as a consequence of what we've built.
