Friday Afternoon Evolutionary Design
Summary
This set into motion a series of events that illustrate the power of a number of agile principles, many of which are enabled by the adoption of evolutionary design. Here’s a recent story about an existing React Native app we are working on that augments our workshops with learning games. We agreed on two actionable steps: • modifying an existing feature of the app, He challenged us to apply principles of evolutionary design while working on it, and then we broke for lunch. We had an idea of how it could look, so we started with a Google Drawings doc Josh had copied for us that had some visualizations of his game. We both thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could get Josh something he could look at today?” Then Tim suggested we re-use the mockup we created earlier by capturing an image of it and displaying it on the screen when we navigate to it in the app.
