Great talk title from @scott_triglia: Making impossible decisions, one step at a time. Essentially reapplying concepts from Lean Startup to planning for complex uncertain undertakings.

Key principles:
- assume our plan will change
- prioritise getting to market

“Outcome of planning meeting:
1) Document problem space and any constraints
2) Name and empower a DRI (Directly Responsible Individual)
3) Select directional approach”

“Why focus on small bets?
- clearer execution path
- forces us to consider risk
- avoids surprise complexity.

Get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions as a result” @scott_triglia #LeadDevBerlin

“Moonshots. We know this term right? It’s when you’re trying to do something big and hard, and for some reason we feel it most appropriate to compare delivery of our web app to humans landing on the moon for the first time” <laughter> @scott_triglia #LeadDevBerlin

“But when you look at the actual story of NASA in the 60s, they didn’t know how to get to the moon from the beginning. They got there in steps and stages. So start with a roofshot” @scott_triglia #LeadDevBerlin

“Impossible decisions, one step at a time:
- Think rigorously, but bias towards action
- Build guardrails to notice danger early and adjust
- Realign and readjust as you learn more about your challenge
- You don’t have to know it all ahead of time” @scott_triglia #LeadDevBerlin
