🎯Hypothesis-driven
Every story tests a measurable hypothesis. Outcomes feed the Learning Loop so the team gets sharper over time.
👥Team of 5 (eng+design+pm)
A balanced cross-functional team — engineering, design, and product on every story together.
🧪TDD
Test-driven development. Write the failing test first, then the code that satisfies it.
🤖AI Tools
AI-assisted estimation, grooming, and standup that augment (not replace) team judgment.
⚖️Balanced Team
Design + Product + Engineering aligned on every story (also called the 3 Amigos practice).
🔁Learning Loop
Hypotheses, outcomes, and learnings tracked across iterations so wins and misses both compound.
🗳️Team Decisions
Decisions are logged and resurfaced automatically when similar context appears later.
🌿Trunk-based
Single mainline. Frequent integration, feature flags for incomplete work, no long-lived branches.
📋3-state workflow
Backlog → Started → Done. No intermediate "in review" or "QA" lanes to fight.
