The examples should be very simple, and only show one path at a time. This means you can not use conditional words like "or", "if", "depending", or "maybe".
19. © 2024 CGI Inc. 19 Navigation Exercise If you are working on a task or doing test-first development, it is very useful to have an example written on a whiteboard. The examples should be very simple, and only show one path at a time. This means you can not use conditional words like "or", "if", "depending", or "maybe". If there is an example, it might take many turns before its finished, and having it on the board will give guidance for the whole team on what they need to do as each new navigator takes over and continues on the task. Examples should make you feel like the person telling the example actually did the thing yesterday.
