CraftX method
CraftX is how I work. Instead of planning everything up front and discovering the problems at the end, I work in short cycles: each cycle goes through four phases, delivers something that works and gets closer to the best result. The X is that result.
I question every requirement: what is really needed, for whom and why. I read the code and the documents and listen to the people who use and build the software.
I remove everything that is not needed, then simplify what is left. Together with whoever is accountable for the project, I choose what to do in this cycle.
I speed up with short cycles, automated tests and AI tools, always under my review.
I automate tests and releases and deliver something that works. Then the cycle starts again, one step further.
The X is the result we are looking for: every cycle gets a little closer to it.
Documentation, handover and training: your team must be able to carry on without depending on me.
In short
Tell me where we are starting from: we do the first phase, understanding, together.
