There is no Success or Fail, only Learn
Blog: Agile Adoption Roadmap
I would suggest in the modern lexicon of work, when a project, release, or increment of work is done, it is much more important to ask what was learned instead of classifying it as a success or failure. This strengthens the mindset within the organization that there is a value in feedback and the most important thing is what did we learn. It also emphasizes a discovery mindset where what we think a customer wants is really a hypothesis that must be explored. It is in the learning that can help us lead to better business results in the future. So next time people talk about a project as a success or failure, instead turn the discussion around and ask “What did we learn”?
