Feedback turns observed results, stakeholder responses, or test outcomes into the next decision. In software delivery, it helps teams revise their understanding before assumptions become expensive to change. section 2.3.3 section 2.5.1
Effective feedback keeps learning connected to action:
- Show valuable features to users and stakeholders early, then change direction when their responses reveal different needs. section 2.3.3
- Use conversations and collaboration to build shared understanding of requirements and business value rather than postponing stakeholder input. section 2.5.1
- Treat a failing automated acceptance test as a warning about project health, but preserve confidence by designing tests that are stable and maintainable. section 9.1

Use the figure to examine how frequently failing acceptance tests can weaken confidence in test feedback and encourage complacency. section 9.1
