Notes
Trystorming is more or less the functional opposite of bikeshedding, which last year I defined as "Frequent, detailed discussions on a minor issue conducted while major issues are being ignored or postponed." In a bikeshedding culture, if someone comes up with an idea, it is discussed, analyzed, evaluated, debated, and chewed over before being put off "for further study." In a trystorming culture, that same idea would be immediately prototyped, modeled, simulated, mocked up, or implemented, examined to see what works and what doesn't, and the entire process repeated. The trystorming motto is "Fail early, fail fast, fail often."
