Use the CANDY heuristic to help you and your team assess your feedback loops and make your feedback fabulous!

We all have those days. We’re working on a project, reading the documentation, staring at the errors, and thinking, “What am I doing wrong???”

A feedback loop is any information we receive as the result of introducing a system into our organization. Common examples of feedback loops:  Automated test results  Refinement sessions the team participates in  Bug reports  Feature request  Error logs in production 

What is a feedback loop? A feedback loop is the part of a system in which some portion (or all) of the system's output is used as input for future operations. Each feedback loop has a minimum of four stages. During the first stage, input is created. During the second stage, input is captured and stored. During the third stage, input is analyzed and during the fourth stage, the insight gained from analysis is used to make decisions.
