A tiny experiment log

Keep an attempt clear enough to learn from.

Original practical exercise

  1. Write the question

    Name what you want to discover. Use a question small enough for one attempt.

  2. Change one thing

    Choose the detail you will vary and describe what stays the same.

  3. Record observations

    Write what happened before deciding whether it was good. Include the context.

  4. Choose the next attempt

    Keep, alter, or discard the change. Leave one question for the next log entry.

Take a moment

What did the attempt reveal that planning alone could not?
