2. It Takes a Village It’s wisdom ◉ It’s people
3. 600 BCE
4. Charvaka (no relation)
5. Charvaka (school of materialism & atheism)
6. Inference Knowledge
7. Inference Knowledge previous knowledge one or more observations
8. Where there is smoke
9. Where there is smoke there is fire.
10. But, there could be other reasons for the smoke
12. Inference Knowledge
13. Inference can be wrong as we can’t know: • all conditions • all observations • all premise
14. Sound’s familiar?
15. all conditions, all observations, all premise gathered as requirements, upfront! WATERFALL
16. Perception Knowledge
17. Perception Knowledge your 5 sense your mind here & now
18. AGILE not possible to know all conditions, all observations, all premise & all requirements upfront!
19. Agile, winning since 600 BCE!
21. 1500 CE
22. Francis Bacon (also no relation)
23. Francis Bacon (philosopher, scientist, lawyer)
24. Gather data to establish it Generalize facts to form axioms Make observations to produce facts
25. Gather data to establish it Generalize facts to form axioms Make observations to produce facts Repeat to build a increasingly complex body of knowledge
26. Descartes (philosopher, scientist, Mathematician)
27. Test of Predictions Predictions Hypotheses Deductions Observations Induction
28. Sound’s familiar?
29. Gather data to establish it Generalize facts to form axioms Make observations to produce facts Build
30. Gather data to establish it Generalize facts to form axioms Make observations to produce facts Build Measure
31. Gather data to establish it Generalize facts to form axioms Make observations to produce facts Learn Build Measure
32. Measure Build Learn
33. Build-Measure-Learn, winning since 1500 CE!

48. Design Process = Product Process = Scientific Process
49. Charts, frameworks, ‘10 Things’ articles on Startups, Product Development, etc. are essentially customization & contextualization of existing wisdom
51. Don’t get lost in ceremonies and rigid processes. Always focus on underlined value.
