   [pattern]#Fast-Feedback#:: Get feedback to your actions and changes as early as possible,
   so you can adjust as quickly as adequate.

   [pattern]#Prototype-Improvement#:: Verify the viability and effectiveness of improvements,
   usually in smaller scales with reasonable risks. 
   
   [pattern]#Verify-After-Every-Change#:: Always make sure that changes,
   even minor ones, leave your system intact. (The awesome Jerry Weinberg has written
  -up several http://secretsofconsulting.blogspot.de/2015/01/some-very-expensive-software-failures.html[examples of such failures^]).

  -[pattern]#Explicit Assumption#:: Compensate missing facts (especially requirements, goals, estimates, opinions) by explicit (written) assumptions about those facts. See <<Explicit-Assumption>>.

   [pattern]#Reduce Complexity#:: Simpler solutions are most often easier to comprehend,
   maintain and operate. Therefore always strive for simplicity and the reduction
   of accidental, unneccessary complexity.

   to similar entities and potential synergies are utilized.
