PSD.6:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternRepair
“We always run this workshop.”Recover the required result and compare one serious sufficient alternative.
“The agenda is the Method.”State the reusable action and applicability separately from dated scheduling.
“The techniques appear in order, so they compose.”Test actual dependence, part-Method identity, whole action, and joins.
“The qualitative output can be scored numerically.”Identify the extra elicitation, measurement, or model assumptions; otherwise retain the qualitative result.
“The method worked elsewhere.”Carry the source’s subjects, conditions, evidence limits, and actual contribution into this selection.
“A shorter deadline removes the need for that input.”Narrow the declared return or stop; do not mark the missing contribution as completed.
