Frameworks: When to Use Them, When to Break Them
Explore the balance between using frameworks and the need to adapt them. They serve as valuable tools for beginners, offering structure and sparking essential conversations. However, treating them as rigid recipes can stifle creativity. Frameworks should evolve with your team's needs—if they slow you down, it might be time to break free. Start with a framework for guidance, but embrace flexibility to truly make it your own. Remember, good frameworks challenge your thinking and should continuously foster meaningful discussion.
