#EverydayAgile: Jutta Eckstein on BOSSA nova
At the core of BOSSA nova, the synthesis of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy and Agile is a concept called probing.
It can be applied for implementing any kind of change, as big as BOSSA nova or as small as an action from your last retrospective. You start by reflecting on your situation, then you come up with a hypothesis based on those reflections, and finally you design an experiment that can prove or disprove your hypothesis. By measuring both your observations of the actual situation and the situation after the implementation of the experiment you can tell if you actually made a difference (and if your hypothesis was valid).Jutta Eckstein
