![Experimentation is the foundation of the scientific
method, which is a systematic means of exploring the
world around us. Although some experiments take place in
laboratories, it is possible to perform an experiment
anywhere, at any time, even in software development.
Practicing Hypothesis-Driven Development[1] is thinking
about the development of new ideas, products and services
– even organizational change – as a series of experiments
to determine whether an expected outcome will be
achieved. The process is iterated upon until a desirable
outcome is obtained or the idea is determined to be not viable.

Pedroia’s actions were precise, whereas Youkilis botched a few plays and Kotchman’s attention seemed to wander. But mostly there was attitude: Pedroia whipped the ball around the infield, looking annoyed whenever he perceived a lack of concentration from his teammates.”
