Opinionated guide on Proof of Concept projects
summary
Practical checklist for proof‑of‑concepts: start by reading the docs and map product and cross‑team needs by tracking frustrations, form a clear hypothesis about the technology (example: Jetpack Compose), build a small happy‑path sample, collect measurable data—performance, memory, and time‑to‑learn—and map findings back to needs. Use Future Reality Trees to show adoption costs and outcomes, prefer a talk plus docs over buried RFCs, iterate based on budget, and treat experiments like scientific evaluations rather than toy hacking.
