In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Fred George about the need to solve “fuzzy problems” and approaches to doing so.

Why listen to this podcast:

• Fuzzy problems are ones which don’t have precise answers but they are the places where most money is being made in the modern economy

• Applying the thinking that works for traditional problems to fuzzy problems causes frustration because the underlying assumption that the problem will have a single solution is wrong

• The rules for solving fuzzy problems are related to the speed of trying out ideas and learning rather and so competitive advantage accrues to fast delivery

• Most organisations have a mix of traditional and fuzzy problems – segregate the teams and use the appropriate approach for the problem type

• If you’re doing agile the same way in all your teams you’re probably not doing agile anymore
