"Given close and frequent contact between business experts and a development team, a surprising amount of product growth can be driven by a stream of well-chosen examples, implemented quickly. Those examples have traditionally been called tests, but that term misleads. It shifts the focus toward bugs and away from understanding the business and the possibilities that lie dormant in the product. So I'm dropping the word 'test' except when I'm referring specifically to after-the-fact product critique.

The main focus of this site is the draft of a book I'm writing, tentatively titled Driving Projects with Examples: a Handbook for Agile Teams."
