Software teams have used Agile techniques to iterate during execution for years. But what if the cost of iteration is too high to change after planning is complete?
In Phase 2 of the CAPED process—Active Planning—we resolve complexity before committing to a full-scale execution plan. In this episode, we explore how Pixar and architect Frank Gehry use iterative planning techniques to test and refine their ideas early—just like CAPED helps teams tackle uncertainty in big, complex initiatives.
Discover how Feature Mining, Iterative Probe-Sense-Respond, and Stakeholder Review form a loop that systematically turns unknowns into knowns—allowing teams to earn green and move forward with confidence.
