A Habit in the Insight Loop Change Series
Our promise once you successfully implement Naming as a Process:
- you will be able to trust the names in your team’s code
- you will spend less time coming up with names
- you will waste less time hunting for experts on code you don’t understand
- you will have less code to read and understand for each story
Apply team registration code
Subscribe your team to this habit using one of your organization’s pre-purchased registration codes (see how this works).
What Changes
Those results come from changing these key behaviors.

Apply a pattern to create an honest name without having to understand the code.
Shift: Use Obvious Nonsense
Reduce cognitive overload in the naming process.
Shift: Expand the Known

Shift: Narrow the Unknown
