Dual-Track Agile
Definition
Dual-Track Agile: Dual-track agile runs product discovery and delivery in parallel. The discovery track validates what to build through research, prototyping, and experiments. The delivery track builds validated solutions. Both tracks work simultaneously, with validated ideas flowing from discovery to delivery.
Example Usage
“Dual-track means we're always validating next quarter's features while building this quarter's. Discovery de-risks the backlog before commitment.”
