Truth 1 in Practice: Speed of Learning Beats Perfection of Plan

Before: Quarterly planning cycles with locked scope. Projects require complete specifications before starting. Success is measured by plan adherence. "We are behind schedule" is the most common status update. Experiments are rare because they "distract from the roadmap."

After: Teams ship MVPs, not comprehensive solutions. Roadmaps are treated as hypotheses, not contracts. Success is measured by learning velocity. "What did we invalidate this week?" is a regular question. Experiments are protected and celebrated.

Application:

Replace roadmaps with portfolios of bets. Allocate 70% of resources to proven bets, 20% to emerging opportunities, 10% to speculative exploration.
Define success as validated learning. Every project must produce a falsifiable hypothesis and a method to test it before resources are allocated.
Shorten planning horizons. Plan in monthly cycles with explicit kill conditions.
Reward course correction. The team that abandons a failing direction quickly is more valuable than the team that executes a bad plan flawlessly.
