Vendors sell rapid proof-of-concept delivery as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Most organisations now hold more data about the digital and data-driven work discipline than they can actually act on. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this aspect of digital and data-driven work and under-invest in testing it. It establishes a shared vocabulary for rapid proof-of-concept delivery so that teams can disagree productively about it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the wider digital and data-driven work agenda that were visible long before the incident. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the practice within digital and data-driven work hard in practice. The content is relevant to those who own rapid proof-of-concept delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this area of digital and data-driven work in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the digital and data-driven work capability ready to put in front of a decision maker.
