counter_3 Frontiers — Evolve through Controlled Experiments
Your team is generating significant contributions using agents. This engagement helps your organization experiment without losing control.
Best Suited For
Product and Architecture teams who want to push boundaries while maintaining the stability and quality their users expect.
Your team is ready to clear their backlog once and for all, and deliver everything their customers have ever asked for.
You have many ideas on what to build next, but to move with structure.
Outcome
Your org experiments safely. You have the processes and infrastructure to explore new AI capabilities without putting your core business at risk.
- Feature roadmaps incorporate architecture and platform
- Catalog of experiment opportunities tied to business value
- Infrastructure for running parallel explorations with metrics
- Data-driven decisions on adopting or reverting changes
- Feedback loops that compound improvements over time
We run at few experiments together from hypothesis through decision, adopted or reverted.
Activities
Explore
Survey and identify opportunities that align with your product strategy and technical architecture.
- Identify and catalog refactoring opportunties, both the low hanging fruits and the heavy lifts
- Find components “everyone’s afraid to touch” that could benefit from agent-assisted refactoring
- Uncover architecture debates that can become empirical
- Size efforts, determine business value and devise high-level roadmap
- Setup solution architecture documents and review processes
- Extend Community of Practice to all stakeholders
Experiment
Run controlled experiments. Build the infrastructure and processes that let you try new approaches without risking production systems.
- Document hypotheses, success criteria and review timelines
- Build and deploy infrastructure to support parallel explorations, including reporting metrics
- Learn subagents and agent orchestration
- Build minimal versions of competing approaches to compare actual metrics
- Track experiments in long-running branches across multiple repositories
- Conduct periodic experiment reviews
- Ensure effective use of version control to track decisions with observations, assumptions, and arguments
Evolve
Integrate successful experiments into your standard practices. Update your architecture and workflows to incorporate what you’ve learned.
- Make explicit decisions: adopt the new pattern or revert to the old one
- Update architecture documents and guidelines based on empirical evidence
- Re-evaluate past decisions as new data is collected from experiments
- Enable product and architectural data-driven decisions based on production metrics
- Establish feedback loops that compound improvements back to the team
- Periodically publish successful and aborted experiments
