Evidence-Based Decision Making vs Intuitive Decision Making
Developers should learn and use Evidence-Based Decision Making to enhance the quality and reliability of their technical choices, such as selecting frameworks, optimizing performance, or prioritizing features, by basing decisions on data rather than assumptions meets developers should cultivate intuitive decision making to handle time-sensitive scenarios, such as production outages or tight deadlines, where exhaustive analysis is impractical. Here's our take.
Evidence-Based Decision Making
Developers should learn and use Evidence-Based Decision Making to enhance the quality and reliability of their technical choices, such as selecting frameworks, optimizing performance, or prioritizing features, by basing decisions on data rather than assumptions
Evidence-Based Decision Making
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Evidence-Based Decision Making to enhance the quality and reliability of their technical choices, such as selecting frameworks, optimizing performance, or prioritizing features, by basing decisions on data rather than assumptions
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in agile environments, where iterative testing and metrics-driven feedback can guide development processes, reduce risks, and align projects with user needs and business goals
- +Related to: data-analysis, agile-methodologies
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Intuitive Decision Making
Developers should cultivate intuitive decision making to handle time-sensitive scenarios, such as production outages or tight deadlines, where exhaustive analysis is impractical
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in creative problem-solving, like designing user interfaces or optimizing code performance, by drawing on past experiences to identify patterns and solutions instinctively
- +Related to: critical-thinking, problem-solving
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Evidence-Based Decision Making if: You want it is particularly valuable in agile environments, where iterative testing and metrics-driven feedback can guide development processes, reduce risks, and align projects with user needs and business goals and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Intuitive Decision Making if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in creative problem-solving, like designing user interfaces or optimizing code performance, by drawing on past experiences to identify patterns and solutions instinctively over what Evidence-Based Decision Making offers.
