Emotions, Examples, Entropy
summary
Two-day workshop with Cucumber yields a clear playbook: run a silent Lego drone exercise to reveal communication habits, accept breakout entropy then label and debrief sessions, and pair remote coaching with example mapping (25-minute timebox) to stop a repeat of one production deploy that had no tests or specification. Teams add guardrails linking example maps to work, create an open “surgery” slot for ongoing specs, and win executive approval for a partner R&D project.
