Refactor with Less Risk
less than a minute
- Trust the names in your team’s code.

- Less code to read and understand for each story.
2 — Use Obvious Nonsense
Delay naming until we have more information.

Gather and record information instead of trying to understand.
4 — Refine a Question
Eliminate rabbit holes that force you to read and verify.
