      • Do high-risk, high-value tasks first.

• You’re talking about cost-effectiveness, net present value, internal rate of return, etc., but you can’t estimate enough to make that argument in many cases.

  • Do not divide the story into tasks

  • The source of this term seems to be “master programmer.”

  • Don’t separate “implement the UI” from “implement the middle tier.”

  • Implement across all, even partially, rather than completing only one specific logic layer

  • why?

    • If you divide the iterations in such a way that nothing can be learned until both iterations are completed, such as “one iteration on the server and one iteration on the client,” you are ruining the “fast run/learn cycle” by dividing the iterations. Instead, create a minimum implementation that allows both the server and client to be used and tested. Tracer (Towhead).
