They trust it isn’t only an approach to comfort yourself after things turn out badly: it is really a system that can enable an organization to develop. This is particularly valid if your organization is in the Agile programming business – in light of the fact that flop quick, bomb frequently is one of the key rules that makes Agile so effective.

Definition

‘Fail-Fast’ is an oft-debated, controversial topic that involves trying something new, obtaining rapid feedback and quickly inspecting and adapting. It’s practiced in methods of high uncertainties , where it’s less expensive to start a product. The task is to learn whether the decisions work. If they don’t, the Project is killed fast, and focus is  moved on to the next thing.

It’s seen as a controversial move in the general press and media, which often sees it as reckless and irresponsible. It’s also a much criticized move in Agile/Lean/DevOps where the ‘fail often’ approach is not encouraged.
