About Discovery-Driven Planning

Discovery-Driven Planning makes assumptions explicit, builds plans around testing them, and stages investment around validated milestones rather than activity completion.

Start with a reverse income statement: what must be true for this to succeed?
List every assumption the plan depends on and rank by impact and uncertainty
Design milestone checkpoints around assumption validation, not activity completion
Go/no-go decisions are made based on validated learning, not schedule progress
