CHT-Style Implementation | #86

When we did our compare & contrast of the working models underpinned by Change-Harvesting theory (CHT) vs Rework Avoidance Theory (RAT), we temporarily sidestepped the specific differences of the implementation part. Let’s drill in on that today. It was quite a sidestep: other than the implementation part of the two models, they have much in common, with the key difference being the highly iterative nature of CHT’s approach. If we squint a little, & we don’t talk implementation, we can see the CHT model as being a daisy-chain of RATs. Each step is a “mini-RAT”, on a scale of a couple of team-days each. But that’s only if we ignore implementation differences. And they’re too big to ignore. In fact, I’ll venture out on a limb a little: ignoring the tremendous difference between RAT implementations & CHT implementations amounts to the second-biggest reason most “agile transformations” fail to bring actual improvements.
