MDPE.7:2 - Problem

Five shortcuts repeatedly waste development effort.

  1. Latest-result rule. The most recent success, failure, metric, or opinion selects the next Work.
  2. Whole-suite checklist. Every available pattern result is gathered even when most cannot change the choice.
  3. Performer-for-chooser substitution. The person or robot that performed is assumed to own the practice-development decision.
  4. Choice-for-authority substitution. A technically preferred option is reported as a decision made under authority although the supporting relation is missing.
  5. Project-for-culture substitution. A local team chooses Work as though it could directly make a population recognize, select, retain, or spread a variant.

The result is either unbounded planning, premature scaling, analysis without action, or action whose authority and intended consequence cannot be recovered.
