Principles of Knowledge Sharing & Innovation
These principles highlight how Agile teams share knowledge, improve collaboration, and drive innovation, essential for open-source development, continuous learning, and disruptive technologies.
| Concept | Agile Relevance | Usage in Agile |
|---|---|---|
| Sturgeon's Law | "90% of everything is crap." | Encourages backlog refinement, prioritization, and focusing on high-value features while filtering out low-impact ideas in Agile roadmaps. |
| Linus's Law | "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." | Reinforces peer reviews, open-source collaboration, pair programming, and continuous testing in Agile teams. |
| Clarke's Three Laws | Principles that drive technological innovation and future-thinking. | 1. "If a senior scientist says something is possible, they are likely right; if they say something is impossible, they are likely wrong." → Encourages innovation, challenging assumptions, and pushing Agile teams to think beyond existing constraints.
2. "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to venture a little past them into the impossible." → Supports Agile experimentation, moonshot thinking, and rapid prototyping. 3. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." → Encourages Agile teams to embrace emerging technologies (AI, blockchain, quantum computing) and continuous learning. |
