Burndown: A Better Way To Build Products
The first thin slice of a product enables delivery teams to bring forward technical unknowns, risks, and complexity that enable the proposed architecture to evolve while proving out technical assumptions and approaches. Driving a thin slice down through the architectural layers (see Figure 6-7) allows teams to prove out approaches to integration, t
