Insight Loop Workshop

Code by Refactoring

This page helps a non-coding coach teach the Insight Loop to a software team. A non-coder teach developers? Yes! We created this workshop to help you set up the right situation and ask the right questions so that the developers teach themselves a new way of thinking how they code.

If you bring this to your team, you’ll help them:

• Finish stories in less time, while
• Writing fewer bugs.

This happens because they:

• Read code more effectively, while
• Fixing the hazards that cause bugs.

Why Developers Care

The Insight Loop reduces time for each story, reduces bugs, reduces cost of future stories, and makes it less frustrating for them!

Up to this point, developers have read code in a traditional manner. They read a piece, understand it, and try to remember it as they get the next insight. That is unfriendly to the brain as they try to remember so very much.

You will be introducing the Insight Loop, which is a new way of reading that works well with the brain. This makes reading code faster, easier, and—more importantly—less error-prone.

What’s Next?

2 things!

1. Making these habits stick.
2. A whole bunch more of Code by Refactoring, to address common legacy code problems.
